The episode opens in Dr. Connors's laboratory, where Connors demonstrates to his interns Peter and Gwen a new potential source of clean energy: genetically modified eels. After Gwen and Peter leave, an electrician, Max Dillon, attempts to upgrade the lab's electrical filters, but gets electrocuted and is sent to the hospital. There, he is found to be emitting strong electrical fields and is placed in quarantine. Max is further angered when a doctor explains that, although he is stable, he must wear a special suit to contain this emitted bioelectricity. Peter, meanwhile, is assigned to tutor a popular girl named Liz Allan. He is attempting to teach her science in a café when an angry Max enters and accidentally short circuits the power. Max leaves; Peter, believing him to be dangerous, pursues him as Spider-Man. Peter manages to photograph Max and remove his mask; Max, enraged, attacks, but flees while Peter is distracted by a phone call from Aunt May. The following day Peter discovers that his photographs have not developed properly, but is still able to identify the man he fought as Max. He meets with Dr. Connors, Eddie, and Gwen to seek a way to contain Max, who has meanwhile been attacked by the police and has decided to seek help from the lab. On arrival, though, Max becomes aggressive and threatens Connors's wife, Martha. Eddie distracts him long enough for Peter to lead the girls to safety and return as Spider-Man: Max, declaring himself "Electro," begins to fight with Spider-Man. The battle leads the pair out from the lab into the rain, where Spider-Man spots a radio tower beside a pool: he knocks Electro into the water, causing him to short circuit into unconsciousness. At school the next day Peter talks to Liz in the hall; she is complimenting his tutoring when the popular students approach, making her change her attitude, act rudely, and walk away. In the lab, Dr. Connors picks up a vial of lizard DNA that Electro had electrified, and leaves with his wife.

The events of Winter Hawk transpire over a few days in which the Soviet Union will launch into Earth orbit the first in a series of space-based laser battle stations, the existence of which they have kept a closely guarded secret. The launch is meant to coincide with the signing of a new and apparently groundbreaking treaty dramatically reducing nuclear weapons to be kept by both sides, but excluding space weapons such as the one the Soviets will be launching, mostly because none are known to exist. The Americans know of the weapon because a Soviet technician named Philip Kedrov has been supplying them information, operating under the code-name "Cactus Plant". The Soviet space weapon places the Americans in a painful dilemma: they can neither sign a treaty that will dramatically cede the Balance of power (international relations) to the Soviet Union, nor can they back out of the treaty lacking proof of the Soviet weapon. The only alternative is a deep cover extraction mission of Kedrov and his evidence from the Soviet's space launch complex, the Baikonur Cosmodrome in the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic. The mission, involving two stolen Soviet Mil Mi-24 helicopters to be flown by CIA pilots — one of whom is CIA pilot Mitchell Gant — is codenamed "Winter Hawk". The story, which then shifts to Baikonur, reveals competing agendas within the Soviet camp. The Soviet civilian leadership has allowed development of the laser weapon, whose launch is codenamed "Linchpin", to placate a military antagonized by military spending cuts. Unbeknownst to Soviet leaders, the Soviet military has its own plans for the weapon, including a live fire test, codenamed "Lightning", against the American Space Shuttle Atlantis. The novel suggests "Lightning" as a prelude to an army-backed coup to seize control over the Soviet Union, even as the laser weapon will make the Soviet Union the world's leading super power. KGB Colonel Dmitri Priabin, introduced as a minor character in Firefox, elevated to a more central role in Firefox Down and now the ranking KGB officer in Baikonur, nurses a painful grudge against Mitchell Gant due to the tragic events of Firefox Down. Like the reader, Priabin quickly learns of the existence of "Lightning" but not the details. The military has kept its plans secret by arranging fatal "accidents" for any civilians they suspect have learned of "Lightning". He has also learned of Kedrov's treachery, and keeps him under surveillance. Priabin investigates the murders as a pretext to learn details of "Lightning" itself, which he correctly concludes is an illegal military mission. He also surveils Kedrov, suspecting that the Americans will try extracting him before the launch of the laser weapon, although he has no way of knowing that the mission will be flown by Mitchell Gant. Gant's mission proves ill-fated from the start. The C-5 cargo plane carrying the helicopters and their crew to their staging point, suffers a fuel-system malfunction requiring the jettisoning of the helicopters on a remote beach — nearly destroying both of them. The helicopters are made flight-ready and the mission commences, only for one of the helicopters to be shot down over Soviet-occupied Afghanistan. Gant narrowly avoids destruction over Afghanistan only to be captured once he reaches Baikonur and tries to extract Kedrov, falling into the hands of KGB officers who had been surveilling the turncoat engineer. Barely keeping himself from killing Gant, Priabin instead takes him into custody, then continues his investigation into "Lightning". Priabin soon learns the truth, but he is unable to warn Moscow because an Army-imposed, pre-launch security lockdown has cut Baikonur off from the rest of the world. Realizing that the army will soon eliminate him as it has other obstacles, Priabin is forced to save Gant in order for the American to fly them both out of Baikonur along with evidence of "Lightning". Using the KGB's Mil Mi-2 helicopter, the two of them manage to get evidence of the laser weapon, but not before their helicopter is severely damaged by fire from a group of the army's Mil Mi-24 helicopters. Gant barely escapes the Army patrols before he crash lands outside of Baikonur. With evidence of the weapon, Gant escapes on foot. Priabin, weighing his hatred for Gant against the implications for "Lightning", chooses to be captured by the army. Gant steals an Antonov An-2 biplane used for crop dusting at a nearby collective farm. He narrowly escapes army helicopters sent to capture him, but not before the Soviets have successfully launched their shuttle carrying the laser weapon. General Rodin, the army's ranking officer, decides against immediately killing Priabin. It was Rodin's son who revealed to Priabin the details of "Lightning" before being killed by subordinate officers acting against the general's orders. Led to believe that the KGB drove his son to suicide, but suspecting his other officers nonetheless, Rodin keeps Priabin in his own custody, even as he orders a massive hunt for Gant. Emotionally unhinged by his son's death, and his wife's suicide immediately following it, Rodin is unable to keep Priabin from escaping before the laser weapon has been successfully placed in orbit. With the help of Kedrov, Priabin finds the covert tracking station the army will use to control the laser satellite, and sabotages its orbital uplink. With his plane shot down by Soviet fighters near the Turkish border, Gant is forced to make the journey on foot while being chased by Soviet troops. Having sent his special code over the air before bailing out, Gant's presence is now known to the Americans as well, who send their own helicopters across the border to save him. The novel closes with the signing of the new arms reduction treaty, which the Soviets have graciously amended to include space-based weapons.

"My name is Anna. It'll do."The Declaration, p. 7 Surplus Anna is nearly 15 years old and has lived in Grange Hall (a Surplus Hall) for most of her life. She was taken away from her parents at the age of two and now, in year 2140, she has learned to "hate [her] parents" The Declaration, p. 8 for bringing her into the world. Anna has also grown up believing that her parents hate her because it is her fault they are imprisoned. As part of her Pending process (through which she will become a Valuable Asset the moment she comes of age), Anna undergoes a work placement in the home of a Legal lady, Mrs Sharpe, who is kind to her in a way Anna is not used to. She allows her to take certain liberties that would earn her a beating if discovered by the staff at Grange Hall, like offering Anna to try on her lipstick. At the end of the placement, Mrs Sharpe gives Anna a small pink diary made of pink suede, in which Anna now writes every night. However, as "journals and writing [are] forbidden at Grange hall [because] Surpluses were not there to read and write [but] to learn and work",The Declaration, p. 16 Anna has to hide her diary awayThe Declaration, p. 17 on a secret shelf in the side of the girls' bath. The arrival of a new Surplus at Grange Hall, Peter, begins as just another chore for Anna. As one of the House Matron's most trusted Prefects, she is instructed to make up his bed and leave his supplies waiting for him. She thinks no more of Peter until he starts to cause problems for her. He tells dangerous stories about the world outside Grange Hall, and calls her "Anna Covey",The Declaration, p. 32 which he says is the name given to her by her parents. Peter tells Anna that her parents love her, and that they asked him to be captured so that he would be able to bring her home to them. Anna disregards everything that Peter says. She sees him as a troublemaker, and believes things would be simpler if Peter would come to terms with his debt to Mother Nature. Peter begins to get inside Anna's head, however, when Anna is beaten savagely by Mrs Pincent. She overhears Mrs Pincent talking about how she has become 'brainwashed' and realizes that the House Matron does not care for her. She is not a Valuable Asset, and life in Grange Hall becomes meaningless. In the same conversation, Anna learns of a plot to kill Peter, who is still having difficulty settling into Grange Hall life. She purposely misbehaves and gets herself put into Solitary so that she may communicate with Peter, and the two form the plan to escape "through a tunnel in Solitary.",The Declaration, p. 137 which they very narrowly manage to execute. On the run from Grange Hall, the children seek shelter in the garden shed of Julia Sharpe, the Legal who Anna served on her placement. Julia is frightened to discover Anna and Peter, but reluctantly harbors them and feigns ignorance when the search party comes to her door. Mrs Sharpe helps Anna and Peter to get out of the village and drives them to the outskirts of London. Later, however, she is pressured into giving them up to the Catchers. Upon arrival at her parents' house in Bloomsbury, Anna realises that Peter has been entirely truthful in his stories of her parents, and his claims that they love her. Anna's parents have longed for her return. At this point, Anna discovers she has a younger brother named Ben, who is still an infant. She is overwhelmed with love for her family after her upbringing in the frigid sterility of Grange Hall. When the children are discovered hiding beneath the floorboards by the authorities, whose search for the missing Surpluses leads them to the Coveys' door, Anna's parents commit suicide. There is a clause of The Declaration which explains that if a Surplus loses a parent then they become Legal. The two deaths mean that neither Ben nor Anna is a Surplus any longer. Shortly afterwards, Peter is informed by his grandfather (Richard Pincent) that his father has been killed by his mother, Margaret Pincent (the matron of Grange Hall), and that he is also now a Legal. In the book's conclusion Peter and Anna live together in her parents’ house. They decide to raise Ben, Anna's brother, as their own child. All three are now Legals, and they begin a life of freedom outside of Grange Hall.

Deeply depressed at his dead-end job in the mail room of a New York City newspaper, Lemuel Gulliver decides to talk to journalist Darcy Silverman. He convinces her he could write a report about his (false) extensive world "travels" saying his dream is to become a writer. After suffering writer's block and thinking that Darcy will not want to hang out with a "guy from the mailroom", Gulliver plagiarises a report from other publications on the internet. The next day, Darcy, impressed by his writing, presents Gulliver with a new task – to travel to the Bermuda Triangle and write an article about the legends of ships mysteriously disappearing there. Upon arrival in Bermuda, Gulliver rents a boat and travels into the triangle. After falling asleep at the helm of his ship, Gulliver is caught in a freak storm and the boat is overwhelmed by a waterspout. Gulliver washes up unconscious on the shore of Lilliput, where he is immediately confirmed as a "beast" by the town's tiny people. After the citizens claim him to be dangerous because of his huge size, Gulliver is captured and imprisoned in a cave. Here, he meets another prisoner named Horatio who was jailed by General Edward because he loves Princess Mary of Lilliput, whereas Edward also wants her. After the island across from Lilliput, Blefuscia, infiltrates commandos to kidnap Princess Mary, Gulliver manages to break free of the plough-machine he is forced to work and then rescues the princess from being kidnapped. Gulliver also saves her father, King Theodore from a fire by urinating on it. Gulliver is declared a hero by Lilliput's citizens and lies that he is the President of Manhattan, says Yoda is his Vice-President and a living legend in his homeland. Edward, however, becomes enraged due to the luxurious accommodations that have been built for Gulliver, and for being presented as an honorary general of the Lilliputian Army complete with uniform. The townspeople find Gulliver's boat and his things, when Gulliver receives angry voicemails from Darcy, who has to take his place and travel to Bermuda now, and she has found out about his plagiarism and now hates him. The next day, chaos ensues as the Blefuscian Navy lays siege to the city when Edward shuts down its defense system as an act of revenge for Gulliver's treatment. Gulliver defeats the armada, invulnerable to the cannonballs being fired at him (although he receives numerous welts on his stomach). Embarrassed once more, and with Mary no longer wanting to have anything to do with him, Edward defects to the Blefuscians and brings with him blueprints of a robot he had made from a page he'd seen from Gulliver's Guitar Hero III game manual. The Blefuscians secretly build the robot, with Edward as the pilot. The Blefuscians invade Liliput and the robot- wielding Edward makes Gulliver admit to the people that he is "just the guy from the mail-room" and nothing more. Edward banishes Gulliver to the shores of "the island where we dare not go" (Brobdingnag). There, he is snatched up by a "little" girl (Glumdalclitch) who towers over him. She captures him easily by trapping him inside a glass cup. When Gulliver wakes up, he finds himself in a pink dress and is played with by the "little" girl, which ends with him being tucked in bed. Horatio, who has gone to find Gulliver after being spurned by Mary, reveals to Gulliver that Darcy was imprisoned by the Blefuscians after she was lost in the Bermuda Triangle in the same manner as Gulliver. Gulliver narrowly escapes with him, using a parachute that he took from the skeleton of a dead U.S. Air Force pilot (presumably from Flight 19) sitting in the dollhouse. Once again accepting a duel from Edward, this time not only for Lilliput's freedom but for its fate as well – as Edward threatens to destroy it should Gulliver fail – Gulliver ultimately defeats him with the assistance of Horatio, who disables the machine's electrocuting weapon. Horatio is hailed a hero and gets King Theodore's permission to court the princess. Edward, reaching the point of insanity, threatens to kill the princess, but the princess, finally having enough of Edward, beats the traitor up in frustration. Gulliver then helps to make peace between the rival island- nations by reciting Edwin Starr's "War" and he, along with Darcy, returns to New York City on their repaired boat. The film ends with Gulliver, now a legitimate travel writer, taking Darcy to lunch while holding hands, after returning from another travel assignment.

The frame story: A young disillusioned Frenchman, René, has joined an Indian tribe and married a woman named Céluta. On a hunting expedition, one moonlit night, René asks Chactas, the old man who adopted him, to relate the story of his life. At the age of seventeen, the Natchez Chactas loses his father during a battle against the Muscogees. He flees to St Augustine, Florida, where he is raised in the household of the Spaniard Lopez. After 2½ years, he sets out for home, but is captured by the Muscogees and Seminoles. The chief Simagan sentences him to be burnt in their village. The women take pity on him during the weeks of travel, and each night bring him gifts. Atala, the half-caste Christian daughter of Simagan, tries in vain to help him escape. On arrival at Apalachucla, his bonds are loosed and he is saved from death by her intervention. They run away and roam the wilderness for 27 days before being caught in a huge storm. While they are sheltering, Atala tells Chactas that her father was Lopez, and he realises that she is the daughter of his erstwhile benefactor. Lightning strikes a tree close by, and they run at random before hearing a church bell. Encountering a dog, they are met by its owner, Père Aubry, and he leads them through the storm to his idyllic mission. Aubry's kindness and force of personality impress Chactas greatly. Girodet (1808) Atala falls in love with Chactas, but cannot marry him as she has taken a vow of chastity. In despair she takes poison. Aubry assumes that she is merely ill, but in the presence of Chactas she reveals what she has done, and Chactas is filled with anger until the missionary tells them that in fact Christianity permits the renunciation of vows. They tend her, but she dies, and the day after the funeral, Chactas takes Aubry's advice and leaves the mission. In an epilogue it is revealed that Aubry was later killed by Cherokees, and that, according to Chactas's granddaughter, neither René nor the aged Chactas survived a massacre during an uprising. The full account of Chactas's wanderings after Atala's death, in Les Natchez, gives a somewhat different version of their fates.

The action takes place in Miami, Florida. Perro amor tells the story of two lovers: Antonio "el perro (Dog)" Brando (Carlos Ponce) and Camila Brando (Maritza Rodríguez), who are also cousins. Ever since their teens, they have been playing at love. Now they are two lovers trying to live a life full of adventure, passion, conquests and bets. Anything goes: making love in a window in the bathroom of their office, or on the day of Antonio's wedding. All under one condition: no love between them, nor for anyone else. Love is a game, and the one who falls in love loses. Antonio is all set to marry Daniela (Maritza Bustamante), the daughter of his father's business partner. But on their wedding day Camila makes him one of her famous bets: he wouldn't dare leave the bride at the altar. Antonio accepts the bet and goes through with it, refusing to say "I do" regardless of the likely consequences: Daniela's dad is the largest investor in the Brando family's construction company. Antonio's offensive behavior jeopardizes an important development project in which the Brando family's fortune is tied up, leaving the Brandos on the brink of bankruptcy. Also, on the day of the wedding, while preparing for the wedding (and after making love to Camila), through the window he spots Sofia (Ana Lucía Domínguez), whose mother is the caterer for the wedding and Sofia her assistant. Parallel to this, the cash- pressed Brando family business deceives and defrauds Dagoberto (Gerardo Riveron), who represents a group of poor homeowners, who are said to benefit from the project that Daniela's father is investing in, but the Brandos, (notably Camila and her husband Gonzalo (Rodrigo de la Rosa) as the other members of the family are not familiar with the real master plan, as Camila is the head of the project), take possession of the houses in the neighborhood and then refuse to pay for them. This drives Dagoberto to take his own life rather than face the neighbors who trusted him. His son, Rocky (Khotan Fernández) swears revenge. Rocky is an honest young man who dreams of being a musician, a promising pop singer who is in love with Sofia, offering her a sincere love without lies or bets. He's trying everything he could do to take revenge on the Brandos. But Antonio and Camila have gone too far, regardless of Sofia. The economic future of the construction company is at stake, along with a whole neighborhood, a family and the happiness of Rocky. But something will change: Antonio's father, Pedro (Victor Camara), puts Antonio out on the street for being irresponsible. Antonio decides to marry Sofia and show his father that he has matured, but Sofia already knows what he is, and does not want to have anything to do with him. Camila, meanwhile, tries to recover Antonio by making life impossible for both him and Sofia, without acknowledging she is in love with him. Meanwhile, behind the scenes it is discovered by some, that Camila is NOT a Brando after all, and that her mother and "father" were just friends, as her "father" was in reality gay. Her biological father is a man named Luigi Dorado, who was a drifter who mostly would take advantage of women, and be a "playboy" of sorts. He was hidden for 30 years; despite apparently knowing the truth, he blackmails her with money demands in return of his silence. At the same time, Luigi begins to have a relationship with Cecilia (Zully Montero), Antonio's grandmother, and matriarch of the Brando family, but this relationship is mostly a ploy to scare Camila, to avoid telling Cecilia the truth of Camila's paternity. (Although, later in the novel, it is revealed that Cecilia knew all along that her son wasn't Camila's father). Cecilia, suspecting that Luigi's intentions weren't genuine, asks Rosario (Sofia's mother and daughter of Cecilia's best friend Ligia) to act as a decoy, to try to find out what Luigi is up to. But, the plan gets exposed by Luigi, and he attempts to rape her, before police arrive. Luigi is sentenced to jail for the attempted rape, and Camilla, tired of Luigi's blackmails, decides to have him killed. As a result, he was attacked by Alejandro Vallejo, a fellow prisoner, who was contracted by Jairo Chaparro in exchange for his freedom. In the end, Luigi wasn't killed, though injured, and Chaparro never intended to free Vallejo, and used him for his "dirty work". Later on, Camilla unsuccessful with the plot to kill Luigi, pays for Luigi's bail, in hopes that he forgives and forgets about everything that transpired. At the same time Antrried to Sofia, but Camilia tries everything she could to separate them but always fail. Sofia would get angry at Antonio but in the end she ends up forgiving him. Rocky on the other hand poisons Sofia's mind about Antonio, just the same as Camila. It's pretty clear that Camila, who is in love with Antonio and Rocky in love with Sofia. Both Camila and Rocky are the reasons why Antonia and Sofia always. Antonio will always be a dog who doesn't appreciate anything, he is addicted to sex and can't take "no" for sex. Sofia finds out that she's pregnant and is excited about the news then decides to go to the club to tell her husband "Antonio" but finds him with a girl making love. This makes her angry to the extended part that she can't take it anymore. Around the same time, Antonio realizes he truly is in love with Sofia, and he no longer wants to have a relationship with Camilla, or any relationship with anyone else so he decides to go to counseling for his sex addiction. Six months pass, Sofia is ready to deliver her child (with Antonio), and Antonio returns from rehab and is seemingly cured from his addiction and is ready to be the model father and husband that Sofia dreamed he would be. But, Sofia has grown tired of Antonio's past antics and is determined to divorce him. But Nany comes back in town and discovers she has AIDS, She decides to tell Antonio about her status, and this was on the same day that Sofia had to deliver her child. Antonio couldn't make it to the hospital as he was worried about his status. This makes Sofia more angry because she thought that Antonio has changed to the best but this makes her believe that Antonio has not yet change and she delivers with his absence. Camilia finds out about Nany's status and thinks that Antonio is HIV positive. She tells Sofia that she and her son are both positive and everyone who was involved with Antonio and Camilia are now worried that they could be infected, causing a big problem as Antonio was one of her many partners. After a slight scare, and after several blood tests, it's discovered that everyone (Antonio, Gonzalo, Daniela, and Tamayo) is negative. (Camilla claims to be positive but that was just a plot to get Gonzalo closer to her, after he seemed to falling for Daniela). Camila and Gonzalo realize that their scheming is catching up to them, so as a result they plan one final big heist, by selling multiple properties twice, and defrauding every 2nd buyer (being that the first buyer would be the legitimate buyer, and everyone after that, invalid) and keeping the money. But, the plot is exposed, as a result Gonzalo winds up in jail and Camila is kept free, after she put the blame of the fraud all on him, when it reality it was more her idea, and he was just an accomplice. While Gonzalo is in jail, Camila, now working alone, enlists the help of Chaparro once again. Chaparro decides they need to put all the fraud money that Camila and Gonzalo embezzled and put it into a bank account in the Bahamas, under a fake name, the fake name being "Alejandro Vallejo", the same prisoner who he promised earlier to release from jail, and didn't. A problem arises, when the prisoner finds this information out, and blackmails Chaparro, as a result Chaparro calls for Vallejo's death, making it look like a suicide. Gonzalo who had just been in the room with Vallejo, realizes that it wasn't a suicide after all, and that he was ordered to be killed. At the same time, Luigi, who has since struck a legitimate relationship with Clemencia (Antonio's mother and Pedro's estranged wife) realizes that Camila may be the real criminal of everything that's going on. The day Vallejo is murdered, Luigi visits the prison and talks to Vallejo, and Vallejo tells him everything he knows, and that if he's killed, it's Chaparro's doing (Vallejo himself was asked to kill Luigi earlier in the telenovela; he was fully aware of what Chaparro was capable of) and wrote on a piece of paper the proof that Chaparro is behind the money laundering scheme. Also, in the past few months, Rocky Paris lets his fame go to his head, and he becomes arrogant to everyone he's dealt with in his life, only wanting two things: (1) revenge on the Brandos for his father's suicide (which in reality was Camila and Jairo Chaparro's doing) and (2) Sofia. Because, of this tired of Rocky's attitude, Benny quits the band. Antonio, realizing Sofia doesn't want to be with him, and refusing to go back to Sofia, meets and falls in love with a veterinarian called Miranda (Angélica Celaya). Sofia also gives in to Rocky's advances and falls in love then later agrees to marry him. Also around this time, Cecilia is suffering from heart disease and is in need for a transplant, which results in Sofia and Pedro to run the company trying to undo the bad deeds of Camila and Gonzalo. Gonzalo later turning face by exposing Camila and Jairo's plan. When Camila gets word of the developments, she decides she needs to kill Cecilia in the hospital, and nearly succeeds, but is saved by both Antonio and Miranda, only to now need the heart transplant more urgent. Luigi, knowing all the truths, is ready to kill Jairo for all the misdeeds he committed, and it culminates into a shootout, where Luigi is killed. Luigi turns out to be an organ donor and his heart is given to Cecilia. Cecilia fully recovers and is now ready for a new plan to save her company and resolve the issues of the poor homeowners. Camila and Jairo team up again to kidnap Sofia's baby and escape from the country. When the police are about to trap her, Camila commits suicide by shooting herself on a boat. Sofia turns down Rocky when they were about to get married because she was in love with Antonio.

When he finds out that Sofia is not married things turns out around because he's madly in love with Sofia and this only mean one thing. The whole truth was finally out and nothing or no one was on the way of Sofia and Antonio to be together they therefore work on their relationship and then Antonio and Sofia get married.

Mr. Waverly (Leo G. Carroll) gives U.N.C.L.E. agents Solo, Kuryakin, Arsene Coria (Fabrizio Mioni) from Italy, and Namana (Bill Gunn) from Liberia their assignment: they are to take a top secret code to a hidden location. After they leave, Waverly sends another agent, Australian Kitt Kittridge (Donald Harron), to follow them without their knowledge. However, THRUSH has gotten wind of the "August Affair", though the villains know little more than the name of the operation. They send Serena (Senta Berger) to entice Solo to her apartment. After each unsuccessfully tries to find out what the other is after, he is gassed into unconsciousness and a THRUSH agent, surgically altered to look and sound like Solo, takes his place. An attempt is made to kill Kuryakin to minimize the chance of the substitution being detected, but it fails. Aboard a jet liner, the fake Solo manages to open the briefcase and photograph the code. Kittridge greets his old comrade (from Solo's prior mission) and makes the mistake of saying that his instincts are telling him that there is something wrong with Solo, forcing the double to kill him. Solo tells Kuryakin that Kittridge was a THRUSH assassin. Solo's latest girlfriend, stewardess Sandy Wister (Sharon Farrell), is miffed that he acts as if he does not know her, but makes no fuss. When the agents reach their destination, a secret, heavily guarded underground vault in the Swiss Alps (filmed at Griffith Observatory), they are told what is inside. Project Earth Save is a super weapon, designed by scientists from many nations because possible signs of an alien attack had been detected. The weapon is so deadly, even the sight of it is fatal, so they have to wear goggles. The code they have brought opens the vault, and is changed every year in August. When Namana spots Solo's missing jacket button in the briefcase, the fake Solo rips off Namana's goggles before he can warn anyone; the African agent is mesmerized by the weapon and stumbles into the vault to die. Meanwhile, the real Solo is kept prisoner not far away. He escapes, killing the head villain in the process, and heads for the vault. The double and Serena intercept him on the highway. When U.N.C.L.E. agents drive up, Serena shoots the fake Solo. Afterwards, she talks Solo into letting her go to return the favor.

John Matherson is a professor of history at the local Montreat Christian College. A retired U.S. Army colonel and Gulf War veteran, he had moved to Black Mountain with his late wife Mary, a native of the town, when she was dying from cancer. The widowed father of two daughters, Elizabeth and Jennifer, and a college professor, Matherson is well-respected within the community. At 4:50 p.m. (16:50) Eastern Daylight Time the second Tuesday of May, on the first day described in the book's narration, the phone lines in the town suddenly go dead, along with all the electrical appliances. Just a second before, everything worked; but now, just one second after, virtually nothing does. Within hours it becomes clear to the residents of Black Mountain that this is no ordinary blackout, and they come to the realization that the power may remain off for a very long time. Every modern electrical device is disabled, destroyed by what Matherson is beginning to suspect is an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack on the United States by unknown attackers. The contiguous United States has, in an instant, been thrown back into the 19th century. However, the narration in the book points out that 21st-century people are not at all equipped to live under 19th-century conditions. Later on, Matherson remarks that the survivors have the technology of the early 16th century. Matherson's immediate concern is his twelve-year-old daughter, who has Type 1 diabetes. Without a constant supply of insulin, which requires refrigeration, she will die. The story's focus shifts quickly to how the community, as a whole, reacts. Matherson is a respected outsider, and his military experience, standing as a college professor, and level-headedness are appreciated by the town's residents. There are hundreds of stranded motorists whose cars and trucks have simply rolled to a halt on the nearby interstate highway. Those people make their way into town, where some of them are clearly unwanted by the locals. There is an immediate growing concern about food; the leaders of the community soon begin wondering how these several thousand people are going to be fed for any appreciable length of time. No refrigerators or freezers are running, nor are grocery stores receiving supplies. Concerns immediately arise about the nursing home in town where Matherson's elderly cancer-stricken father-in-law resides. The elderly and frail need refrigerated medicines, and many require constant nursing care. The EMP has disabled the nursing home's generator, which cannot be started. There are no AM/FM radio broadcasts, no television, no Internet, and thus, no communication with anyone outside the town is possible. However, two months later, a working antique telephone is set up to connect Black Mountain with the nearby town of Swannanoa. The family of Matherson's late wife are small-scale car collectors who happen to own a 1959 Edsel, in addition to a Mustang. The two cars are so old that the EMP did not affect them because they have no modern EMP-sensitive electronics, such as transistors. Another local resident owns a vintage airplane that later becomes very useful, as it too is so old that it has no vulnerable electronics. Without modern sanitation and supplies, diseases surge. Minor wounds become seriously infected, and the community has soon exhausted its supply of antibiotics. The social order in Black Mountain begins to break down. It is too late in the year to plant and harvest crops, which is a moot point as few people in the area know how to farm anyway. Suddenly, skills not needed in several generations have become critically necessary. The town must organize its young and able-bodied to defend itself against a marauding band of cannibals, who eventually attack the community, resulting in a violent and deadly battle. After a while, the extreme shortages of food require difficult choices regarding rationing: who gets how much food, and which people are to be deliberately underfed to the point of starvation. Increasingly, Matherson is forced by circumstances to assume a growing leadership role as the situation continues to deteriorate. Matherson, along with a few others, try their best to maintain a balance between the multiple necessities of rationing scarce resources, maintaining law and order in addition to individual freedom, as well as personal responsibility and moral behavior, in the midst of deeply deteriorating physical and social conditions. Matherson is forced to lead several battalions of college students into battle against the cannibalistic Posse. In the process the college’s resource officer is killed and the students’ numbers are reduced to two-thirds of what they were before. After the battle the Posse leader is hanged on the interstate and John releases the several remaining Posse members, claiming that they were not going to do any more harm. One year later, the U.S. military arrives to rebuild and aid the town. It is revealed that the EMP that devastated the contiguous United States was generated by three nuclear missiles launched from offshore container ships. One was launched from the Gulf of Mexico and detonated in the upper atmosphere over Utah, Kansas, and Ohio. The container ship was sunk by an explosion immediately after the missile launch; no indication remained of who was directly responsible for the attacks. Another missile was fired from off the Icelandic coast and detonated over East Europe and Russia. This launch hit major cities like St. Petersburg and Moscow. Another nuclear missile was detonated over Japan and South Korea. The U.S. government is said to have believed that an alliance between Iran and North Korea was responsible for the attacks, and that the United States attacked Iran and North Korea with nuclear weapons in retaliation. It was also mentioned that the U.S. withdrew all of its overseas military forces back to the United States to aid in rebuilding and humanitarian work. It is also revealed that the EMP attack brought down the insufficiently hardened Air Force One, which killed the U.S. President upon impact of the crashing plane. One year after the EMP attack, the United States is described as having 30 million survivors, down ninety percent from an original pre-attack population of 300 million. The People's Republic of China is occupying the U.S. west coast with a 500,000-strong occupation force, and Mexico has Texas and the American Southwest under military occupation, as a protectorate against China. The book also describes the increasingly intimate relationship Matherson develops with a single and childless nurse, Makala Turner, who was stranded by the pulse.

Appeared to take place right after the events of Demonic Toys, an unknown stranger with a pair of gloved hands picks up the pieces of the destroyed toys and starts stitching them together. The only toys the perpetrator could fix correctly were Baby oopsie daisy and Jack Attack. The unidentified man then puts the toys in a crate, and is handed over a suitcase full of cash by another man, who then leaves with the toys. Also with Dr. Lorca is his sweetheart Lauraline and her stepson David, and a little woman named Lillith, who is a psychic of some sorts. Dr. Lorca's driver, Eric accidentally drops a crate that Dr. Lorca wants brought into the house, revealing the Demonic Toys inside it. It is revealed that Dr. Lorca is still collecting oddity toys. He's arrived because Caitlin called and told him about an oddity toy she found within the castle that's able to move. The castle's current owners seldom come there, meaning they're superstitious of everything that's happened in there. The owners decided to empty and sell it to Italian government to make it a historical landmark and keep it open for the public. Caitlin takes them inside the castle and gives them its history. The doll itself was hand carved out of wood with a mixture of fabric elements. Caitlin opens the box and shows them the doll Divoletto. Mr. Butterfield examines the toy and claims it is the oldest toy he's ever seen, made possibly in the 14th century. Caitlin then shows them how it moves. Just tap a wand on the side of the box a couple of times and then it will come to life. After a while, the toy finally moves. Caitlin believes that there are magnets in the wand and when the box is tapped, it sets off the springs and mechanisms inside of Divoletto. However, Lillith thinks differently. Eric suddenly runs in the room and tells them that their cars are gone. Since everything is closed and have no transportation to get back to Rome, Caitlin suggests that they stay at the castle for the night. Meanwhile, Lillith examines Divoletto to catch a vision of some sorts, and sees a vision of the future where Divoletto's killing them all. David then smashes Divoletto's head with a shovel, but it's revealed that Divoletto was one of Fiora's personal demons. The demon then sucks Fiora's spirit out of Lillith and brings her through the portal back to hell. The demonic toys then attack them and David cuts their heads off with the shovel, killing them. The next day, David, Caitlin and a spooked out Lillith leave the castle, with the demonic toys remains so no one else can find them, along with the clay vessels containing Fiora's personal demons. The sound of glass shatter is heard, and the painting of Fiora at the castle starts whispering, implying that Fiora's revenge personal demon has been released.

We are introduced to Floyd Hubbard as his flight descends toward an airport in an unnamed, sunny and hot East coast beach city. Hubbard will be attending a convention as a representative of American General Machine (AGM). Fred “Freddy” Frick, local Assistant District Manager, is aware of Hubbard’s true reason for attending the convention. Frick decides to set up Hubbard in the hope that it will soften his report to the corporate office, and protect his job. Frick meets with Cory Barlund, a prostitute, and together they decide the best way to get to Hubbard would be for her to pose as a freelance writer doing a story on local conventions. She will seduce Hubbard, then “make some horribly slutty embarrassing scene in front of all the people he most wants not to know about his sneaky little romance,”MacDonald (1962). A Key to the Suite. p. 38. and this, Frick hopes, will be enough to send Hubbard back to the corporate headquarters with his tail between his legs. Later, Hubbard circulates at the company hospitality suite and is introduced to Cory. Through many cocktail conversations, we learn that Hubbard is well-read, considerate, and uneasy with his administrative duties within the corporation, preferring to be the metallurgist he had been before. At dinner in the banquet hall, he spots Cory who appears to be fighting off the advances of various men from all sides. Eventually he rescues her, and they leave, exchanging stories about their lives. Hubbard is happily married with children, Cory is divorced, has one child “defective, institutionalized,”MacDonald (1962). p. 53. has money, and lives alone, “and [tries] to like it.” Before the night is over they kiss and the evening ends abruptly, Cory feigning guilt, Hubbard suffering the real thing. Cory does not want to go through with the plan to blackmail Hubbard, but is convinced by Alma, her madame, that she not only is having the same second-thoughts she usually does, but that she “wouldn’t want to have to send Ernie around to straighten [her] out again.”MacDonald (1962). p. 68. The threat works, and we see Cory for the first time not in control of her circumstances. She assures Alma she will go through with the plan. Back at the convention, Cory convinces Hubbard she needs to change some film for her camera in his room, and there she seduces him. Afterward, Cory is cruel to Hubbard, about his wife and about his fall from grace. Though Hubbard doesn’t know this, she had thought that he was different than other men and would not succumb to her charms. After they argue, she leaves, assuring him he’ll come back for more. The next day, she taunts Hubbard at a convention party at the pool, and he rebuffs her advances. Later that evening, Hubbard returns to his room and finds Cory there, nude and in his shower. He rebuffs her again, and now Cory softens. She tells Hubbard about Frick’s plan to employ “soft blackmail”MacDonald (1962). p. 62. to keep his reports positive, and explains what happened in her life to lead her to what she has become today. Hubbard leaves Cory in his room and proceeds to get visibly drunk among the rest of the conventioneers. Cory drifts off to sleep in Hubbard’s bed. Meanwhile, one of the men Cory had rejected earlier, Dave Daniels, has gotten very drunk and extracted Hubbard’s room key from him by force. Hubbard, drunk himself, passes out in a hallway. In Hubbard’s room, Daniels finds Cory, rapes and kills her. After sobering up some, he sets it up to look like she fell in the shower and attempts to make his escape via the balcony. He slips and falls eight stories to his death. Because the hotel is such a large part of the local economy, and because the police are unsympathetic to “one dead flooze”MacDonald (1962). p. 132. they decide to call both deaths accidental and unconnected. All involved are cleared of any wrongdoing. Later, Hubbard makes his report over the phone to the corporate honchos while Jesse Mulaney sits in the room listening. Mulaney has got to go, he’s “too limited for the job.”MacDonald (1962). p. 137. Mulaney accuses Hubbard of enjoying his job as hatchet man, and Hubbard suspects he might be right. On his flight home, Hubbard dreams of Cory pulling his heart from his chest, and despite his protestations to the contrary, he knows he has already lost it.

JJ visits his psychiatrist, Dr Felly (Paul Ridley), seeking help for his recent bouts of rage and his confusion about his life and friends. Dr Felly has poor advice for JJ and prescribes him more drugs to calm him down. As he is leaving, he meets Emily, who came to the clinic to receive counselling in being more honest, but was simply prescribed the same drugs as JJ. She comes out to him and he shares with her his longing to be "normal" for a day so that he could lose his virginity and reunite Freddie and Cook. She advises him to just ask for the things he wants, so they visit Freddie to tell him to make up with Cook. At Freddie's house, though, they walk in on Freddie having sex with Emily's twin sister, Katie (Megan Prescott), and JJ accidentally outs Emily as a lesbian, leaving Katie looking visibly shaken. JJ asks Freddie to make up with Cook, but Freddie refuses and tells JJ to choose between him and Cook. Returning home, JJ sees his mother, Cecilia (Juliet Cowan), overwhelmed by all of his issues and blames himself. He calls Cook to tell him how he feels, but Cook is preoccupied with having sex with a girl who JJ assumes is Effy. When he visits Effy, however, she reveals that she has not seen Cook in days. He asks her to leave Freddie and Cook alone; she refuses but offers to be his friend. JJ then visits Cook and discovers that he is having sex with their friend Pandora Moon (Lisa Backwell). Pretending not to have seen this, he then confronts Cook about ruining their friendship with Freddie and shouts at Cook for not caring about how he feels. Cook gives JJ a hug and promises that he'll always care about him. He brings JJ with him to buy drugs. They are almost arrested and, after running from the police, JJ pressures Cook into taking his prescription drugs instead before they meet their friends at a club. In the queue, Effy tells Naomi Campbell (Lily Loveless) that she knows about Naomi and Emily's relationship. Naomi reveals that she is unsure of her sexuality and realises that Effy is in love with Freddie, not Cook. JJ and Cook arrive and Thomas Tomone (Merveille Lukeba) lets them into the club where British electronica duo You Love Her Coz She's Dead are playing, announcing that Emily is already inside. Cook gets into a fight on the dancefloor and Freddie moves in to help when he discovers that JJ gave Cook his prescription drugs. Cook, under the influence of JJ's drugs, is compelled to tell the truth and confesses that Effy loves Freddie. Cook says that he loves Effy, but knows his feelings are not reciprocated and that is why he is having an affair with Pandora. Thomas, Pandora's boyfriend, overhears this and is furious. JJ leaves the club and finds a tearful Emily, who does not want to go home to face Katie. JJ invites her to spend the night with him and, after they agree to be friends, she gets him to have sex with her, as a "once-only charity event". JJ's mother meets Emily the next morning and watches them discuss the night before. She is overjoyed that he has made a real friend and believes that JJ will be alright after all.

It's Halloween and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are going trick-or-treating. They receive treats from Minnie (as a Witch with her black cat Figaro), who scoops out candy from her cauldron; Mickey (as a Vampire in a candy-filled coffin with bats emerging from it), who hands them candy before ducking back into his coffin; and Goofy, the latter thinking it was Easter and giving them Easter eggs while dressed as the Easter bunny and wearing a cardboard tree, while his house is shown decorated with Easter-based decorations. The boys finding Goofy's thinking ridiculous, try to explain that Halloween isn't the time for eggs, but for candy, which Goofy tries to think about. They visit Donald's house, but find him apparently watching TV and assume that he is too lazy to answer the door. A scary man with a hook and a hockey mask (who is actually Donald in disguise while the "Donald" in the house is revealed to be a decoy) appears and scares the boys away. He takes the candy that his nephews left behind as well, showing he'd rather take other kids well earned candy for himself then give it away. Huey, Dewey, and Louie discover Donald's trick, seeing him gorge on all of their candy, and plan to get back at him. They sneak inside the house and put glue on Donald's disguise. When Donald hears someone knocking at the door, he puts his costume back on, hoping and expecting to receive and take more candy. However, after jumping out to scare the presumed kids, Chief O'Hara is there instead with a wanted poster of a person dressed in Donald's costume asking if he has seen this man since "three young ducks have gone a-missin'", unbeknownst to Donald that Chief O'Hara is really Huey, Dewey and Louie, stacked up and disguised with a latex mask and raincoat. Donald denies seeing the person, but "O'Hara" proves him wrong by holding a mirror in front of him. Donald then runs away after failing to remove his costume (knocking "O'Hara" over in the process as he yells at him to come back), but Mickey, Minnie and Goofy (who have also received wanted posters) chase after him, believing that he's really the culprit. Donald hides behind a tree, but it is really Goofy's tree disguise. Goofy confronts and attacks Donald by throwing eggs at him. Donald runs to Mickey's house, where Mickey opens his coffin in Donald's face and jumps out to attack him. This forces Donald to flee and hide in Minnie's cauldron. Minnie bangs on the cauldron to force him out. Donald then finds himself facing Minnie, Mickey, and Goofy. As the trio prepare to attack him, Donald again runs for it and is sent flying in Minnie's cauldron, separating him from his hook in the process. After hitting some gravestones and breaking down a mausoleum in a manner similar to pinball, Donald ends up in a graveyard (in which a gravestone hits him in the face, breaking off his mask) in front of three tombstones with his nephews' names on them. Huey, Dewy and Louie pretend to be zombies and emerge from under the tombstones, saying that their uncle scared them to death. They chase Donald across the graveyard until he falls into the hole and they say "Hope you liked our candy uncle Donald, 'cause it was your last", as they prepare to bury him. Donald replies "Oh, I'm sorry boys, I'll get your candy back" and the boys ask "All of it?". Donald says "I cross my heart and hope to (gulp) die," which makes the boys happy at getting back at Donald and make him make up for the candy he ate. Then, the boys dress him up in a costume of their own and make him trick-or-treat with them, while holding a pitchfork behind to make him stand up on his end of the agreement. All four of them run away, however, when the next person they see in the shadows has a hook for a hand, they get terrified, but it turns out that it was actually Goofy, dressed as Santa Claus (now thinking it's Christmas), prepared to give the candy canes. When he sees that there's no one there he decides to lick one of the candy canes.

A supervillain named Felonius Gru has his pride injured when an unknown rival steals the Great Pyramid of Giza. With the assistance of his scientist sidekick, Dr. Nefario, and his Minions, Gru resolves to one-up this mysterious rival by shrinking and stealing the Moon. Knowing this is extremely expensive, Gru seeks a loan from the Bank of Evil. Mr. Perkins, the bank president, is impressed by the plan, but he will approve the loan only if Gru can obtain the necessary shrink ray first. Upon learning that an up-and-coming villain known as Vector was responsible for the Pyramid theft, Gru openly displays a rivalry with him. Gru and the Minions steal the shrink ray from a secret testing base in East Asia, but Vector intercepts them and steals it for himself. Gru attempts to break into Vector's impregnable fortress to recover the shrink ray, only to be defeated by numerous defenses. As nothing seems to work, he notices three orphan girls, Margo, Edith, and Agnes, who are able to easily enter the base as they are selling cookies. Gru disguises himself and adopts the girls, planning to use them to infiltrate Vector's base. However, Gru has trouble nurturing them properly due to their stubbornness, their ballet classes, and his own ineptitude as a parent. Eventually, Gru and the girls arrive at Vector's fortress, and Gru successfully steals back the shrink ray. The girls then suggest a day at a theme park. Gru agrees, believing he can abandon the girls there; but as he cannot, he begins to bond with them instead. Later, Gru contacts Perkins via video chat, stating that he finally has the shrink ray. Margo, Edith, and Agnes interrupt the meeting, and Perkins announces that he has lost confidence in Gru and will no longer fund his operations. As Gru tells the Minions he can no longer fund the heist, the girls offer the contents of their piggy bank. With his Minions and himself inspired, Gru sells parts of his lair and the items he stole over the years to construct a spacecraft. Gru plans to steal the Moon when it is nearest to Earth, but this is the same day as the girls' ballet recital. As Gru becomes conflicted, Dr. Nefario arranges for the girls to be returned to the orphanage, fearing the recital could ruin the plan. At the same time, Perkins informs Vector of Gru's possession of the shrink ray and the adoption of the three girls, encouraging Vector to take action. Gru successfully shrinks and steals the Moon. He rushes back to Earth to attend the recital, only to find a ransom note from Vector, who has infiltrated and abducted the girls. After arriving at Vector's base, Gru surrenders the Moon. However, Vector procrastinates on the deal and after failing to stop Gru's advance, flies off with the girls and the Moon. Meanwhile, Dr. Nefario has discovered that the effects of the shrink ray are temporary: the bigger the object is, the faster it reverts to its original size. Gru, Dr. Nefario, and the Minions execute a daring mid-air rescue of the girls, just before the Moon destroys Vector's spaceship and launches itself back into orbit, along with Vector on it. Some time later, Gru re-adopts the girls, writing them a bedtime storybook based on his own experience. The girls perform their ballet recital for Gru, his mother, Marlena, Dr. Nefario, and the Minions, only for one of the Minions to switch the music to something more modern, ending the film in a dance party. During the end credits, three of the Minions try to get through the gap over the white. In their last attempt, the coach ends up flying, destroying the movie screen.

Introduction: The cartoon opens as a typical Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner cartoon. After the credits are shown, a high-speed object zooms through the desert until it stops. It is revealed to be Bugs Bunny, who explains why he is in the cartoon instead of the Road Runner - the Road Runner had sprained a giblet. As the coyote approaches, Bugs stops and, with the help of "Acme Super Speed Pills", is able to run as fast as the Road Runner. When the pills wear off and Bugs is forced to use wits to outwit the Coyote, he stops again, and holds up his hand as if to say "HOLD IT". Bugs then draws a line in the road, and then a second. As Wile steps in beyond the first line, the bottom falls out from under that segment into an underground river, and Bugs runs off. 1\. Wile E. Coyote then tries to capture Bugs using a carrot, but ends up catching a giant fish out of nowhere, who swallows all of Wile E. except for his feet. Wile E. then walks away, still held onto by the fish. 2\. Later, Bugs looks on in disbelief ("It's amazing the trouble this joker goes through to get a square meal.") as Wile E's attempts to use a rifle to cut a rope holding a rock over a catapult to propel himself over a large gap backfires, sending Wile straight into the rock, with the rifle, having fallen out of Wile's hands, coming back to hit him to shoot Wile straight up vertically. 3\. Bugs is running again. ("It's only sporty to give him a running shot at me once...in a while.") Wile E. attempts to shoot Bugs as he passes by. Unknown to Wile E., Bugs had hastily attached a maze of pipes to the rifle. When the firing sound is muted and Bugs runs around the mountain, Wile E. Coyote checks out the maze, only for the bullet he fired to exit when he finishes and hit him. 4\. Wile E. Coyote then tries to stop Bugs by placing a carrot on a trap (similar to where bird seed would be planted for the Road Runner). Wile E. then drops the anvil upon sight of Bugs, but Bugs then places the target on him. Upon hitting Wile E., the edge of the cliff on which Wile E. was standing dislodges and falls to the ground below, and then the anvil is dropped as the target is pulled. The anvil misses Wile E. Coyote, but he is then run over by a passing truck. 5\. Bugs is running yet again. ("Here we go again. He doesn't give up easy, does he?") Wile E. Coyote then tries to be a "Coyote cannonball" to speed past Bugs, only to then point the cannon downward via his weight, and launch himself into the ground, forming a crater. After escaping the crater, Wile E. Coyote hits his ear to push rocks out of the other ear. 6\. Finally, as Bugs times Wile E.'s arrival to him again, he remarks to the viewers: ("Yep. Here comes the old 5-15 now. Right on time.") Then Bugs runs off and he is able to place a large patch of glue in the road. Wile E., unable to stop in time, ends up stuck in the puddle and tries to reach a ringing phone some distance away. Bugs answers the phone, which he hands off to Wile E. Coyote, who ends up springing back (phone in hand) the other way, taking the chunk of glued road out of its bed with him, going through a door near a cliff, (Bugs having sped forward to open it) causing Bugs to say "Pardon me, but look behind you" through the telephone, and ending up crashing into the side of another cliff behind him. Bugs then says "Did you realise he almost hit this door?" The chunk of road, having crushed Wile E. against the cliff, breaks, causing him to fall halfway down. Only the telephone cord prevents him from falling all the way to the ground, but Bugs rings up Wile E. and (mimicking the phone company) remarks "You haven't paid your telephone bill lately, so we're going to have to cut you off. Sorry." Bugs severs the cord and Wile E. becomes a victim to gravity as usual. Bugs then tells the audience "The moral is, never get cut off in the middle of a long-distance fall" and he laughs.

Jerry, a young English boy, and his widowed mother are vacationing at a beach they have come to many times in years past. Though the beach’s exact location is not given, it is obviously in a foreign country. Each tries to please the other and not to impose too many demands. The mother is “determined to be neither possessive nor lacking in devotion,” and Jerry, in turn, acts from an “unfailing impulse of contrition — a sort of chivalry.” On the second morning, Jerry mentions that he would like to explore a “wild and rocky bay” which he glimpsed from the path. He wanted to act grown-up and not constantly travel with his mother. His conscientious mother sends him on his way with what she hopes is a casual air, and Jerry leaves behind the crowded “safe beach” where he has always played. A strong swimmer, Jerry plunges in and goes so far out that he can see his mother only as a small yellow speck on the other beach. Looking back to shore, Jerry sees some boys strip off their clothes and go running down to the rocks, and he swims toward them but keeps his distance. The boys are “of that coast; all of them were burned smooth dark brown and speaking a language he did not understand. To be with them, of them was a craving that filled his whole body.” He watches the boys, who are older and bigger than he is, until finally one waves at him and Jerry swims eagerly over. As soon as they realize he is a foreigner, though, they forget about him, but he is happy just to be among them. Jerry joins them in diving off a high point into the water for a while, and then the biggest boy dives in and does not come up. “One moment, the morning seemed full of chattering boys; the next, the air and the surface of the water were empty. But through the heavy blue, dark shapes could be seen moving and groping.” Jerry dives down, too, and sees a “black wall of rock looming at him.” When the boys come up one by one on the other side of the rock, he “understood that they had swum through some gap or hole in it. . . . [However] he could see nothing through the stinging salt water but the blank rock.” Jerry feels failure and shame, yelling at them first in English and then in nonsensical French, the “pleading grin on his face like a scar that he could never remove.” The boys dive into the water all around him, and he panics when they do not come back to the surface. Only when he has mentally counted to 160 does he admit that they are gone for sure. Believing they are leaving to get away from him, he “cries himself out.” He spends the next several days contemplating swimming through the rock tunnel himself, and he practices holding his breath underwater. After one round of practice, his nose bleeds so badly that he becomes dizzy and nauseated, and he worries that the same might happen in the tunnel, that he really might die there, trapped. He resolves to wait until the day before he leaves when his mother says they will be gone in four days, but an impulse overtakes him two days beforehand, and he feels that he must make his attempt immediately — now or never. “He was trembling with fear that he would not go; and he was trembling with horror at the long, long tunnel under the rock, under the sea.” Once inside the tunnel he begins counting, swimming cautiously, feeling both victory and panic. “He must go on into the blackness ahead, or he would drown. His head was swelling, his lungs cracking. . . . He was no longer quite conscious.” Even when he surfaces, he fears “he would sink now and drown; he could not swim the few feet back to the rock.” In "Through the Tunnel", the literal passage through the rock tunnel becomes a coming-of-age passage for Jerry. Having accomplished his challenge, he returns to his mother's company, satisfied and confident of the future. He does not feel it necessary to tell his mother of the monumental obstacle that he has overcome.

Poitier plays the chief psychiatrist at an institution in 1962. A young psychiatrist (Peter Falk) on his staff is frustrated with his patient and demands that his patient be assigned to another psychiatrist. The doctor then tells of having a similar experience 20 years earlier in 1942 with a Nazi sympathizer at a federal penitentiary where he then worked as a psychiatrist. A flashback begins. In the flashback, a new prisoner (Bobby Darin) arrives and is assigned to the doctor. The doctor soon discovers the prisoner was arrested for sedition for joining the German American Bund and calling for overthrow of the American government. The prisoner discusses sociopathic behaviors throughout his life with the psychiatrist, each being shown as a flashback first to his childhood where he had an abusive alcoholic father and mother with dependency issues, second to his early adulthood where he led a gang of young adults terrorizing a bar and then to recently in the prisoner's life where he had become active with violent, militant Nazi sympathizers. Throughout the inmate's life, he has displayed a lack of emotion for those around him and works to obtain only pleasure for himself through disruptive acts displaying the traits of Antisocial Personality Disorder. Throughout the series of flashbacks, the doctor begins to understand that the inmate is a danger to society at large and that, if released, would go about using his wits and superficial charm to advance the causes of antisemitism, white supremacy, and autocracy. The doctor recommends that the inmate not be granted parole, despite the fact that by so doing he risks damage to his reputation because outside of his office the inmate is thought to have become a model prisoner. The psychiatric staff decide to parole the prisoner against his recommendation, believing the doctor to be biased against the inmate due to the inmate's belief in Nazism. This ends the flashback. When the young psychiatrist asks what happened to the inmate, the doctor tells him that he was hanged ten years later in 1952 for beating an old man to death for no reason. The young psychiatrist then vows to continue working with his difficult patient.

The story begins in 1967. That year, Singapore first issued her own currency and made national service mandatory for all young Singaporean males who have come of age. That year, there were people who rented out fake eyelashes for S$4 a day; prices of eggs plummeted to a new low, propelling Singaporeans to start a movement to kill chickens to reduce egg-supply. That year, the “Vietnam Rose” (a form of syphilis) set foot on the island, visitors who called on prostitutes shuddered at its mention; that same year, Sakura and Rita Chao's “New Peach-blossom River” was popular in the streets of Singapore... There lived 3 families in 3 houses along a horizontal street (which bustled with noise and excitement) in North Bridge Road, amongst whom were 6 youths of about the same age and had grown up together. Lin Xiaobei (Dai Xiangyu) was the only son of tailor Lin. He fought and got into trouble all the time, and was a constant headache to his neighbours. Yao Jianhong (Jeanette Aw), who grew up with Xiaobei, was the only person who could subdue him. Jianhong withdrew from school at a young age and with her father, performed martial arts in the streets to sell medicated ointment. She was in the ‘turf’ for years, and was a candid and forthright girl with a sense of chivalry. Lin Xiaobei liked her and the feeling was mutual. However she was very unhappy with Xiao Bei's frivolous attitude. She hoped that Xiao Bei would be down-to-earth and succeed his father's trade. Xiaobei did not want to be resigned to cooping in the humble tailor-shop. He wanted to venture into more ambitious grounds and strike it rich someday. Another childhood friend of Lin Xiaobei was Huang Zhihao, nicknamed "Tarzan"(Elvin Ng), who was always building castles in the air. A fickle- minded youth, he wanted to be a car racer for a moment and fantasized about being a wrestler next. Both of them were at loggerheads sometimes and allies during other occasions. Xiaobei and Tarzan stick by each other through weal and woe. Like chopsticks, each is incomplete without the other. Besides Jianhong, Tarzan's sister, Huang Jinhao (Eelyn Kok), also liked Xiaobei. She was a vain and materialistic girl with a naive mindset. Despite not winning Xiaobei's heart, she was loyal to him as a friend. Jianhong's twin brother, Yao Wuji (Zhang Zhenhuan) was very timid. He could only keep the feelings he had towards Jinhao to himself. Qin Hui Min (Zhou Ying) was the only one among the few youngsters who was highly educated. Though she was physically weak, she had an unrelenting perseverance, and eventually became a lawyer. The two generations of these families went through 30 years of changes, entwined in love, hate, grudge, jealousy, magnanimity and forgiveness.

Treasure hunter Ahkeeba slaughters a tribe of natives in order to steal the fabled ‘Black Egg of Maa-Kalaratri.’ Ahkeeba presents the relic to ailing artifact collector Walter Clark, explaining that he took revenge against the tribe for killing Walter’s wife Maggie, who raised Ahkeeba like a son. Walter counters that Maggie died from malaria and disappointedly dismisses Ahkeeba due to his murderous action. Struggling single mother Kara Spencer moves her two children into a back house on Walter’s property to become Walter’s live-in nurse. Kara’s young son Jesse expresses his displeasure over leaving New York. Jesse’s little sister Cambria befriends a stray cat she names Mister Whiskers. Returning to the house, Ahkeeba sneaks into Walter’s office and smashes the relic out of spite. A large prehistoric spider emerges from the remains of the egg and bites Ahkeeba, who flees the house and scares Kara in the process. Soon after, Ahkeeba succumbs to venom infection and dies after crashing his van. Later, Jesse sneaks into Walter’s house and takes a carved figurine from Walter’s collection before Walter asks the boy to leave. Kara remains haunted by visions of her son Stevie, who died in a car accident where she was the driver. Kara steals Walter’s oxycontin and begins taking it to cope with her anxiety. Meanwhile, the spider hides away in Kara's attic, eventually killing the stray cat, and begins to stalk Cambria. Kara has a nervous breakdown in a diner after suffering another hallucination of her dead son, and is comforted by Sheriff Jane Dunne. Kara confides in Jane that she blames herself for Stevie's death, resulting in a failed marriage, while Jane realises that Kara is taking drugs. Jesse returns the stolen figurine to Walter and apologizes. Jesse admits that he hoped to get his mother fired because he is angry about the family’s move. Walter forgives Jesse, and invites him to help repair the smashed relic. While working, he tells Jesse the legend of Maa-Kalaratri, an ancient spider goddess who became vengeful when people stopped worshipping her. Walter explains Maa-Kalaratri destroyed a village and stole the chief’s child; to appease her, the tribe began sacrificing their babies as blood offerings. Up in the attic, the spider sheds its exoskeleton and hides its egg sac inside a suitcase. Left alone in the back house, Cambria searches the attic for the stray cat. The spider catches Cambria by surprise by jumping on the attic hatch and knocking her off the ladder to the floor. Kara scolds Jesse for failing to watch his sister, leading to an argument about responsibility in which Jesse blames his mother for being neglectful. Walter discovers that Kara stole his medication, and angrily kicks her out of his house. Over a monitor, Jesse hears his mother arguing with Walter about her burden raising two children alone. That night, the spider returns to Walter’s house where it attacks and kills him. Jesse storms out of the back house after learning his mother plans to move their family once again. Jesse goes to the main house and discovers Walter’s body. Sheriff Jane arrives to investigate, and questions Kara about Walter’s death. Kara mentions seeing Ahkeeba acting suspiciously when he was there previously. Jesse tells Jane that an evil spirit inside a spider killed Walter as a sacrifice. Jane doesn’t take Jesse’s claim seriously, but invites him to help her solve the case. Jesse repeats the legend of Maa-Kalaratri to his mother while insisting a giant spider killed Walter. Kara admonishes Jesse for frightening Cambria with his story. Kara slaps Jesse when he mentions Stevie in retaliation, but regrets her actions afterwards. During the night, Kara goes up to the attic to investigate, finding Jesse quietly freeing Cambria from thick spider webs, all the while keeping an eye on the sleeping silhouette of the spider, which is revealed to be its empty exoskeleton. After the children get out of the attic, the giant spider leaps out from its hiding- place and bites Kara. Jesse calls Jane for help, while Kara is incapacitated by the effects of the venom. The spider jumps at Cambria and pierces her hand with its fangs, before Jesse rescues his sister and smacks the spider into the wall, rendering it unconscious on the floor. Kara comes to and examines Cambria's bite, realising the fangs went clean through her hand and no venom has entered Cambria's bloodstream. She tells Jesse to look after his sister, and administers an epinephrine shot on herself to recover from the spider’s venom, and briefly passes out. Upon waking up, Kara discovers that the spider has gone. Jesse hides Cambria in the wardrobe before he is attacked by the spider, before Kara arrives in time to tear off two of the spider's legs and crush its body, killing it. As Jane arrives with an ambulance, Kara collapses from exhaustion and sees a vision of Stevie, finally forgiving herself for his death by saving Jesse and Cambria. After recovering, Kara and the two children move out, reaffirming their love for each other and promising to stay together no matter what. In the abandoned house, the spider's egg sac is hidden inside a doll's house, as several spiderlings emerge from inside. After the family moved out of the house, two men start cleaning up the attic. They discover spiders in the chest, showcasing that the spiders from the second eggsack also emerged.

The film opens as Dr. Brian Cowper (Robert Coleby) takes a shower in the flat he shares with his wife Jill (Judy Morris), who is a masters student in anthropology. As he exits the building's lift on his way to work, an ominous character is seen entering and randomly choosing the button for the ninth floor. He knocks on the Cowpers' door and announces himself as Max (Ivar Kants), the building's plumber. Jill insists that they did not call for a plumber, and Max assures her that he is simply doing a mandatory check of the building's pipes. Max maintains an affable, loquacious facade. Once inside the bathroom, he starts to chip away at the tile under the sink. When Jill rushes to the bathroom to see what he is doing, Max impishly encourages her to leave him to his work. He closes the door and then takes a very loud shower. Meanwhile, Brian has been informed that a team from the World Health Organization is coming to interview him about his work. He calls Jill to share the news, and in his glee, he dismisses her concerns about Max. Max tells Jill that the apartment's pipes are a mess and that he will come back tomorrow to replace them. After he leaves, Jill goes to the bathroom to look at the mess that Max made, and he suddenly appears behind her. He claims that the door was unlocked and that he was just bringing in her groceries, since he had noticed they were in a heavy box. This basic pattern of Max's odd, slightly ominous behaviour recurs and expands throughout the film. He keeps finding excuses to visit the unit, and his work in the bathroom only makes a bigger mess each time. Because Brian never sees Max, he dismisses Jill's concerns out of hand. In one shot, Max patiently waits in his car for Brian to leave before heading up to the apartment. Max eventually erects an elaborate scaffolding in the bathroom which renders it largely useless. As the Cowpers host the WHO officials for dinner, one of their guests gets himself trapped in the rigging and injures himself. During an argument with Jill, Max finally promises to finish his work, threatening that he will do a haphazard job just to get it over with. Sure enough, the plumbing explodes, pouring fetid water all over the bathroom, and prompting the return of Max to the apartment. The film ends with the police arresting Max. They search his car and find items that belong to Jill. She looks down on the arrest from her balcony, and Max screams at her that she set him up.

In 1978 Brooklyn, as a young Dave Buznik is about to experience his first kiss with the girl of his dreams, local bully Arnie Shankman suddenly pulls down his pants and underwear, exposing Dave's penis and humiliating him in front of everybody. Twenty-five years later in 2003, Dave works as a secretary for Frank Head, his disrespectful boss who takes credit for his work. Dave's trauma from the bullying causes him to avoid displaying public affection such as kissing his girlfriend Linda in public. His problems are exacerbated by the fact his narcissistic co-worker, Andrew, is still close friends with Linda, who spurns his attempts to rekindle their past relationship. During a flight to a business meeting, annoyed by a flight attendant and a sky marshal Dave loses his temper, prompting the marshal to taser him. He is arrested for assaulting the flight attendant and is sentenced to anger management therapy under Dr. Buddy Rydell, a renowned therapist who sat next to him on the plane. Dave's single session is extended to 30 days, however, after he accidentally breaks a waitress' nose while defending himself from a blind man who kept hitting Dave with his cane. Buddy elects to move in with Dave and join him at work as part of his "radical round-the-clock therapy". This entails unorthodox techniques causing Dave to be passive aggressive. At Dave's workplace, Buddy learns Andrew has a long penis and is shocked to learn of his friendship with Linda. Buddy warns Dave that he should confront Andrew before he and Linda get back together; Dave insists he is "doing okay myself". Buddy sees a photo of Linda on Dave's desk and becomes instantly smitten by her, annoying Dave. To enhance Dave's assertiveness, Buddy arranges for him to visit Arnie Shankman, who has reformed and become a Buddhist monk, telling Dave to exact revenge on him. Arnie expresses his sincerest apologies to Dave for bullying him, but he laughs when Dave reminds him of the kiss incident. Buddy and an initially hesitant Dave provoke Arnie by lying about Dave molesting Arnie's mentally ill sister. A fight ensues between them. After defeating Arnie, Dave and Buddy successfully flee from monks that chased them. Dave is delighted to have had his revenge. Back home, Linda tells Dave she agreed to follow Buddy's advice that they have a trial separation; Buddy explains to an angry Dave this is to give him time to improve his behavior.

Dave finally snaps at work when he learns Frank intentionally passed him up and promoted Andrew to a higher position. He punches Andrew in the face for meddling in his relationship with Linda and, using Buddy's advice, proceeds to humiliate Frank. He wrecks his office with a golf club and reminds Frank of all his years of loyal service only to be denied the promotion he wanted. He tells Frank that when he gets out of jail, he expects him to do the right thing and give him the promotion Andrew presumably resigned from. Frank agrees and Dave deliberately steps on Andrew's head as he leaves the room. Learning from Andrew that Buddy has taken Linda to a New York Yankees game, Dave assumes Buddy intends to steal his proposal idea and races to the stadium. Security captures him and begins to remove him from the stadium but Mayor Rudy Giuliani orders them to allow Dave to speak. Linda is moved when Dave admits publicly that he has an anger problem and is willing to change. Dave kisses her in front of the stadium crowd before she accepts his marriage proposal. Linda reveals to him that the game was the final phase of his therapy and explains that the tormentors and the aggravation he was put through was all Buddy's doing.

Stephen is an agoraphobic recluse who has not left his flat in nearly a year. Each of his days are structured around carefully planned routines, but one day his routine is disrupted when he discovers an infestation of mice in the kitchen cupboards. He contemplates leaving the flat to buy mouse traps, but can not bring himself to open the door, so he reminisces about the events leading up to his current situation, with objects around the flat triggering flash backs. One year earlier, after being "friend zoned" by the woman he loved, Stephen went on a sightseeing holiday across Europe with his friend Bunny, who is addicted to gambling. They visit several bizarre museums, but Bunny finds them all boring and is more concerned with seducing women. At a seafood restaurant in Poland, Stephen and Bunny meet Eloisa, a Spanish waitress who has recently left her boyfriend and plans to return to Spain for an upcoming fiesta.

The story follows the day- to-day working life of MJN Air and its crew of four: Carolyn (Stephanie Cole), the owner and stewardess; First Officer Douglas Richardson (Roger Allam), an experienced pilot formerly at Air England until he was sacked for smuggling; Captain Martin Crieff (Benedict Cumberbatch), whose love of flying and planes is let down by his lack of natural ability; and Arthur Shappey (John Finnemore), Carolyn's overexcited and idiotic (but well-meaning) son who works as a steward. Much of the plot revolves around the relationship between Douglas and Martin. While Martin is the captain, Douglas is more experienced, and most people consider Douglas to be superior to him in almost every way. When meeting both men most guests mistakenly believe Douglas to be the captain rather than Martin. Carolyn refers to Douglas as the "good pilot" and Martin as the "safe pilot". Also, while Douglas gets paid, Martin does not because Carolyn cannot afford it. Thus Martin also has a second job with his own business, Icarus Removals, using a van he inherited from his late father, and lives a life of poverty. Douglas, meanwhile, has to do his job in order to pay two different alimonies, and tries to keep secret from his third wife Helena that he is not a captain. It is later revealed that Helena is having an affair. Douglas is also a recovering alcoholic, having been sober for a period of several years at the time the story begins, although he tries to prevent anyone else from knowing about it, fearing it will tarnish his image. Much of the time spent on the flight-deck is spent with the crew playing various games to pass the time such as "People Who Aren't Evil But Have Evil Sounding Names", "Brians of Britain", "Books That Sound More Interesting with the Final Letter Knocked Off" (e.g. Three Men in a Boa, Of Mice and Me) and "The Travelling Lemon", in which the crew try to hide a lemon in plain sight of the passengers without anyone complaining. This is the origin of the phrase "The lemon is in play," used by Douglas in the episodes Qikiqtarjuaq and Zurich Part 2. Though MJN squabble among themselves, in several episodes the crew unite to combat a common enemy or problem. A recurring antagonist is Gordon Shappey (Timothy West), Carolyn's ex-husband and Arthur's father, who resents Carolyn obtaining the jet in the divorce and frequently tries to reacquire it through fair means and foul. Other recurring characters include Mr Birling (Geoffrey Whitehead), who every year hires the plane to take him to see the final match in the Six Nations Rugby Union tournament. On "Birling Day", the crew toady to Birling in the hope that he will give them all large tips. Every Birling Day Douglas attempts to steal Birling's whisky and sell it on while Carolyn and the rest of the crew try to stop him. Another recurring character is Captain Hercules "Herc" Shipwright (Anthony Head), a former colleague of Douglas who now works at Scottish airline Air Caledonia. Herc is an occasional rival to Douglas and a love interest to Carolyn, though she is reluctant to reciprocate Herc's affections. Princess Theresa of Liechtenstein (Matilda Ziegler) appears in the final season, first appearing when she hires MJN to take her younger brother and ruling monarch King Maxi to Fitton so he can return to school. She and Martin begin a romantic relationship. In the two- part series finale Martin is given a paid job at Swiss Air, which means MJN has to close down and Gerti has to be sold. However, when Gordon tries to purchase Gerti, Arthur puts in a gigantic bid to stop his father from buying the plane. Douglas suspects that there is something valuable hidden on the plane and MJN manage to buy back Gerti. His suspicions prove correct when he discovers that Gordon had replaced the wiring of the plane with gold, not expecting that Carolyn would get the plane in their divorce. Martin concludes he is a more skilled pilot than he thought, having been struggling in the past years with a poorly weighted plane, and the solution to Carolyn's financial problems has been right under her nose all along. Carolyn uses the money to secure the company's future, renaming it OJS Air ("Our Jet Still"). Martin takes up his new job securing paid employment and living close to Princess Theresa, Douglas is promoted to Captain, and Herc — who accepts a downwards career move due to his affections for Carolyn — is hired as the new First Officer. The series ends with OJS flying to Addis Ababa, bringing the alphabetical progression of cities full circle.

The foal is separated from his mother upon arrival at an unidentified mining town and nearly expires from dehydration. He is subsequently saved from certain death by the 12-year-old sympathetic town stable boy, Richard (Chase Moore).

A Viking named Sam the Terrible is rowing upriver towards a castle, and he is noticed by two people on a nearby riverbank, who retreat to the castle sensing an invasion. As he passes by Bugs Bunny's hole, Bugs peeks out and thinks that Sam's outfit is that of an "electric can opener broken loose". As Bugs sees Sam enter the castle, Bugs takes it upon himself to fight Sam. In Bugs' first confronting Sam, who is trying to get the locals to come out, Bugs calls Sam's outfit a Halloween costume, and takes the sword from Sam and dulls it, rendering it useless, and kicks Sam out of the castle. Sam tries to re-enter, only to see the horns of his cap get stuck in the castle door. In the meantime, Bugs paints a door on the castle walls to trick Sam, and Sam (this time with the help of a pink elephant) tries to break the "door" down, only to instead knock in some of the stones where the door was painted. Sam berates the elephant who then angrily slams Sam on the floor multiple times. Next, Sam, with the help of the elephant, is catapulting rocks over the castle walls. Bugs sees an opportunity to ruin Sam's plans and pours pepper on the elephant, making him sneeze a rock right into Sam, flattening him. Thinking that Sam has retreated, Bugs asks for the bridge to be lowered. Sam, however, reappears and tries to cross the bridge with the elephant, but the elephant is so heavy that Sam and the elephant both fall through into the moat. Sam then decides to try to sail in the back way (using the elephant's belly as a boat) to enter via the back. Bugs, however, notices this and while Sam is sailing, he plugs the elephant's nose with a cork. The elephant, in his struggle to breathe, runs back to land, forcing Sam to use his hat to sail back to shore, where he furiously chases away the elephant ("AND DON'T COME BACK!!! I'll handle that Prince Varmint myself!"). Frustrated, Sam tries to mine his way into the castle under one of the towers, only to have the tower pancake onto him. After this attempt fails, ("I'm through foolin' around! Now I'm gonna get serious!") Sam attempts to blow open the castle door with TNT. When Sam tries to leave, however, the drawbridge has been raised and Sam is forced to wait with the lit explosives. After the door blows open, Sam rushes in, only to meet the elephant that he chased away earlier, who proclaims (in a voice mimicking Joe Besser) that he is now on Bugs' side ("I'm on the GOOD guy's side now! So take that, bad guy!") before chasing Sam back to the beach with a hammer. Furious, Sam vows that he will be coming back to get even with the double-crossing elephant ("YA DOUBLE-CROSSERS! I'm a-comin' back, and I ain't comin' back to play marbles!") as he escapes on his boat. Bugs comments about what can be accomplished for peanuts ("Y'know, it's amazing. The things you can accomplish for just peanuts!") and rewards the elephant with a pack of them as the cartoon fades out.

In 2019, Mag (Felicia Day), Zone (Zack Ward), Griff (Chris William Martin), Lynn (Janina Gavankar), a child named Iris (Adair Tishler) and her wiped father (Warren Sweeney) get into the sewers and find a hole into the Dollhouse. Here the group restore power and find the chair. Attached is a tablet with a simplified interface and a number of sets of recorded memories. The father is placed into the chair and is given several sets of memories, one at a time. Through this method, events leading to the current apocalyptic state of the world are revealed. The group quickly realizes that the Dollhouse is the origin of the imprinting technology. The first set of memories shows Topher's introduction to the Dollhouse with DeWitt and Dominic, and his creation of a new imprinting system that used a different approach to the technology, leading to the development of the chair found in this episode. The old technology used analog cables, which took two hours to upload into an active. Topher brags that he can do it faster using waves instead, and laughs off Dominic's warnings that such an upgrade could easily go out of control. Lynn takes Iris to use the bathroom, but is distracted by the possibility of having her first hot shower in a year. She is killed by an unseen figure. A memory is shown with Echo in the chair, being imprinted for a client. Paul Ballard is now her handler. When Ballard and Echo are alone in the elevator she discusses her ability to maintain her own personality in parallel with her imprint but laments the terrible headaches this process gives her. Meanwhile, Iris finds Lynn's body and her screams bring the group to investigate. They all retreat to the chair room. In a flashback, Boyd is preparing to leave the Dollhouse, collecting weapons, clothes, and food. He believes that he has placed Echo in danger and does not wish to place Dr. Saunders, with whom he is now romantically involved, in the same position. She gives him medicine and bandages, indicating that he has been recently injured. Before he leaves, he promises to return for her. This scene is later expanded upon and further explained in the season 2 episode, "Getting Closer". The survivors decide to give Iris what they call a "birthmark" — a tattoo on her back that allows people to distinguish actuals from imprinted people. Dr. Saunders suddenly appears on the Dollhouse's main floor; but it seems that she has regressed to her doll persona, "Whiskey". The survivors surround her, weapons aimed, accuse her of killing Lynn, and are about to execute her when she says she can lead them to "Safe Haven," a rumored place away from imprinting and "tech." Whiskey states that the memories in the tablet would lead them there. In another imprinted memory Victor, who has been imprinted with Mr. Ambrose, a high- ranking executive in the Rossum Corporation, informs DeWitt and Topher that the company is going to begin selling the bodies of the actives for "a lump nine-figure sum." Select clients will have immortality, similar to that discussed in the episode "Haunted." Topher is visibly upset but says nothing. DeWitt is shocked and protests about the legality of such a procedure, but Ambrose informs DeWitt that it will be legal in a year, as everyone in a position of authority is either a client or "one of ours." When DeWitt threatens to reclaim Victor's body, Mr. Ambrose tells her that she can opt out, but that he is currently in ten other dolls talking to ten other Dollhouse administrators, and that Rossum will know if they choose not to cooperate. Back in 2019, Iris kills Griff, then frames her father, still in the chair, by shoving the gun in his hand and screaming to attract attention. While Zone takes the father to the bathroom and executes him, Whiskey imprints herself with another set of memories: Mr. Dominic retrieved from the Attic by DeWitt and Topher; by this time, much of the general population had already been imprinted, beginning the apocalyptic events leading to the current situation. Dominic gloats about how he was right about them losing control, but DeWitt asks him to join them. They have a way to fight back: Caroline is now immune to imprinting. Whiskey is given another memory in which Victor and Sierra are seen with their original personalities back. Victor shows Sierra hidden hard drive wedges with copies of everyone, while also showing that Sierra is the one who began the ideas of tattoos to be placed in order to remember who they really are. She also mentions for Victor to be careful when he leaves to go to the surface, stating "Don't forget what happened to November" (something that is explained in the season 2 episode "The Hollow Men"). The survivors find the wedges and decide to imprint Whiskey with Caroline's personality. With the loss of Griff, Zone decides that it's time for Iris to have a gun to protect herself. Before long, Iris turns her gun on them revealing that she is an imprint. She does not know how she ended up in a child's body but she is going to take Mag's, and Zone's usefulness is at an end. When she fires her gun at Zone, she finds that it is unloaded, and after a brief struggle Zone puts her into the chair and they activate the chair, overwriting Iris's personality. Zone explains that he figured out that Iris was not who she claimed she was when he executed her so-called father: he had a tattoo but it did not match Iris's surname. In the memory set in Iris's imprint, the Dollhouse has isolated itself. The actives have all been given their original personalities back. Topher, now mentally unstable, explains to DeWitt that a phone call could be made, and anyone who picked up the phone would be imprinted (similar to the way Echo was wiped in "Gray Hour"). This would create an instant army of people programmed to kill everyone who isn't imprinted. Topher realizes that this is happening because of the technology he made possible: imprinting people with waves rather than the slower, analog method. The guilty realization of the part he has played in causing armageddon has driven him mad. DeWitt tries to comfort him but they are interrupted when a series of crashes is heard from elsewhere in the Dollhouse, which turns out to be someone trying to break through a block wall sealing off the entrance to the complex. The residents take up arms and prepare to defend themselves as the wall comes down, revealing Caroline and Paul, who have returned to take the actives to a compound, which is a place where they will be safe from imprinting, thanks to Alpha. Caroline requests that Topher make a copy of her personality to help others find the way there in case she's killed or another group of people finds the Dollhouse. Saunders explains that Topher no longer enters the imprinting room, but she volunteers to make the copy herself. As preparations to leave the Dollhouse are underway, DeWitt notes that Echo has returned to save the actives, but asks what her plans are for the former Dollhouse administrative staff. Caroline cocks her pistol and the memory ends. In 2019, Caroline is imprinted into Iris's body. She quickly agrees to take them to the compound she mentioned in the memories, which is called Safe Haven. An explosion erupts from a device that the survivors left in the shaft that leads into the Dollhouse. The noise tells them that the imprinted butchers have reached the Dollhouse and that the group must leave immediately. Mag implores Whiskey to come with them but she says she must wait, as she is waiting for 'someone' (something that is explained in the season 2 episode "The Hollow Men"). Caroline, Zone, and Mag shoot their way across the Dollhouse to the elevator shaft and start climbing; once they're inside the shaft, Whiskey activates a gas system rendering the imprinted butchers unconscious. With the survivors safe, Whiskey sits down on the balcony, her fate left unknown. Mag, Caroline, and Zone climb the shaft and arrive in DeWitt's old office. Through the broken window they see Los Angeles in ruins. A large collage of photos is assembled on the wall under the words "To Remember." Photos of Whiskey, Victor, Sierra, November, and Caroline are amongst them. Caroline picks her photo off the wall, saying she hopes she'll find herself alive; then she puts the photo back. The group then climb out the window onto a ladder and the episode ends.

He goes to a nearby town, and that night, brings gifts back to Mariya. When Yussuf discovers this act of deceit, he condemns his friend before a public gathering. On their final day at sea, Alyosha acknowledges his disgrace and concedes that Yussuf should be the one to marry Mariya. Yussuf takes joy in this and proclaims his intent to do so. However, when he realizes that his friend has not truly let go of Mariya, he backs down out of pity. An argument erupts between the two in the ship's cabin. Meanwhile, a violent storm is brewing outside. Mariya, who has been on the top deck, is knocked overboard. Although Alyosha dives in after her, and is soon followed by Yussuf, neither is able to find her. She has been swept away. Back on shore, Yussuf and Alyosha silently mourn for their lost loved one, until noticing that she has been carried back by the waves. Maryia had been wearing a life preserver. She is unharmed. The three burst in on what had been her premature funeral, turning it into a celebration. While Yussuf is being detained by the peoples' gratitude, Alyosha takes advantage of the situation to slip away with Mariya. Alone together, he professes his love for her, and yet is faced with rejection. Dismayed, he leaves before Mariya is able to offer an explanation. Alyosha then comes across Yussuf, and supposing that Mariya must love his friend instead, sullenly tells Yussuf that he should go to her. However, Yussuf is met with heartbreak as well. Mariya, it turns out, already has a fiance, who is serving in the Pacific Fleet. She entreats Yussuf to imagine himself being called into service by commanding military officer Kliment Voroshilov, and how devastating it would be to discover that the woman he loves has grown tired of awaiting his return. Although Yussuf declares that this revelation does nothing to temper his passionate feelings, he acknowledges the virtue in Mariya's decision to remain faithful to her fiance. Walking down to the beach, they see that a grief-stricken Alyosha has begun to set out for sea, preparing to return home alone. Yussuf calls out to his friend and joins him for the voyage. Upon hearing of Mariya's betrothment from Yussuf, Alyosha is at first unsympathetic. However, Yussuf echoes Mariya's entreaty for understanding. In a display of solidarity with Mariya, the two sail away while singing of a woman who awaits her loved one's return from sea.

Micky Ward is an American welterweight boxer from Lowell, Massachusetts. Managed by his mother, Alice Ward, and trained by his older half-brother, Dicky Eklund, Micky became a "stepping stone" for other boxers to defeat on their way up. Dicky, a former boxer whose peak of success was going the distance with Sugar Ray Leonard in 1978, has become addicted to crack cocaine. He is being filmed for an HBO documentary he believes to be about his "comeback". On the night of an undercard fight in Atlantic City, Micky's scheduled opponent is ill, and a substitute is found who is 20 pounds heavier than Micky, a huge difference in professional boxing, constituting two or three weight classes. Despite Micky's reservations, his mother and brother agree so that they can all get the purse and Micky is defeated. Micky retreats from the world and forms a relationship with Charlene Fleming, a former college athlete who dropped out and became a bartender. After several weeks, Alice arranges another fight for Micky, but Micky is concerned it will turn out the same. His mother and seven sisters blame Charlene for his lack of motivation. Micky mentions he received an offer to be paid to train in Las Vegas, but Dicky says he will match the offer so he can keep training and working with his family. Dicky then tries to get money by posing his girlfriend as a prostitute and then, once she picks up a client, impersonating a police officer to steal the client's money. This is foiled by the actual police and Dicky is arrested after a chase and a fight with them. Micky tries to stop the police from beating his brother and a police officer brutally breaks his hand before arresting him. At their arraignment, Micky is released, but Dicky is sent to jail. Micky washes his hands of Dicky. On the night of the HBO documentary's airing, Dicky's family, and Dicky himself in prison, are horrified to see that it is called Crack in America and depicts how crack addiction ruined Dicky's career and life. Dicky begins training and trying to get his life together in prison. Micky is lured back into boxing by his father, who believes Alice and his stepson Dicky are bad influences. The other members of his training team and a new manager, Sal Lanano, persuade Micky to return to boxing with the explicit understanding that his mother and brother will no longer be involved. They place Micky in minor fights to help him regain his confidence. He is then offered another major fight against an undefeated up-and-coming boxer. During a prison visit, Dicky advises Micky on how best to work his opponent, but Micky feels his brother is being selfish and trying to restart his own failed career. During the actual match, Micky is nearly overwhelmed, but then implements his brother's advice and triumphs; he earns the title shot for which his opponent was being groomed. Upon his release from prison, Dicky and his mother go to see Micky train. Assuming things are as they were, Dicky prepares to spar with his brother, but Micky informs him that he is no longer allowed per Micky's agreement with his current team. In the ensuing argument, in which Micky chastises both factions of his family, Charlene and his trainer leave in disgust. Micky and Dicky spar until Micky knocks Dicky down. Dicky storms off, presumably to get high again, and Alice chides Micky, only to be sobered when he tells her that she has always favored Dicky. Dicky returns to his crack house, where he says goodbye to his friends and heads to Charlene's apartment. He tells her that Micky needs both of them and they need to work together. After bringing everyone back together, the group goes to London for the title fight against welterweight champion Shea Neary. Micky scores another upset victory and the welterweight title. The film jumps a few years ahead, with Dicky crediting his brother as the creator of his own success. The real-life brothers banter as the end credits run.

Fred sits in a dark room, detailing his most recent bank robbery. He talks about how he teamed up with hardened criminal Johnny Cabot to execute his plan. Cabot is about to take the wife of the bank's vice president hostage. He holds her until he receives a call from Fred, informing him that they have the ransom money. Cabot watches the Wilson house as the husband leaves for work, and their son heads off to school. Posing as a door- to-door guitar instructor, Cabot talks his way into the house, and takes Nancy Wilson hostage. At the bank, Fred enters vice president Ken Wilson's office, and hands him a check for $70,000, informing Wilson that he will withdraw the funds to cover the ransom or his wife will die. He tells Wilson to call home for proof that Nancy is being held hostage, then informs him that if he does not call Cabot back in five minutes, Mrs. Wilson will die. Wilson surprisingly responds that he has been planning to leave his wife anyway, and runs off to Las Vegas with his mistress, Ellen. He tells Fred that he will be doing him a favor by killing his wife. Fred does not believe that Wilson will let his wife die. He is proven correct, as time ticks by, when Wilson finally cracks and agrees to pay the ransom. Fred calls Cabot, and starts the clock over again. After the five minutes have passed, Fred works on Wilson to hurry. Meanwhile, at the Wilson house, Cabot is enjoying terrorizing his hostage. He begins forcing her to listen to his songs about her impending demise, shooting at her and making sexual advances toward her. Back at the bank, Fred has been taken down by the police, who arrived after someone tripped the silent alarm. As a result, Cabot starts to become nervous, having not received his expected call from Fred. Suddenly, Little Bobby comes in, home for lunch. The police arrive outside the house. In a panic, Cabot grabs Bobby and runs for it, running right into police gunfire. Bobby pretends as though he has been shot in order to encourage Cabot to put him down. After apparently being very upset by the accidental shooting of the young boy, Cabot fires back, and is killed by police. Nancy runs outside to find her son, still alive and well. The film ends with Fred finishing his story to the police, then Mr. Wilson driving to Las Vegas, but with his wife, not his mistress.

Sivaraman (Mohanlal), an unemployed man, comes to Mumbai to find a job. Unfortunately, he loses all his certificates but happens to find Govindan Kutty (Mukesh), an old buddy from his native place, who is also jobless and wandering in Mumbai. They try to get visa from a travel agency but find no way to gather such a massive amount. Govindan Kutty persuades Sivaraman to participate in a bank robbery planned by Thomas (Cochin Haneefa) and his gang, including his stammering brother Tyootty (Jagadish) and lover Alina (Sucheta Khanna). They join the gang but the plan puts them in more trouble as the robbery ends in vain when they hit Pothuval (Innocent). Alina secretly informs the police about the robbery and tells that the entire plan was carried out by Thomas, so that she could steal the entire share of the money. Thomas, before getting arrested, hides the money, and the place is kept secret except to his lawyer, Nambeeshan (Jagathy Sreekumar). Alina pretends to be in love with Nambeeshan to find the place where the money is hidden. Meanwhile, to find a safe cover, Sivaraman and Govindan Kutty plan to impersonate Kunjunni, the grandson of a rich but blind elderly couple, Thampuran (Nedumudi Venu) and his wife Sethu (Kaviyoor Ponnamma). They haven't seen their grandchild since his childhood since he resides in the United States and the couple have an estranged relation with their relatives who do not live with them. Sivaraman and Govindan Kutty end up disguising with the body of Govindan Kutty and the voice of Sivaraman to make up for Kunjunni in front of the blind couple, especially the sharp-eared alert grandfather. Pothuval, who knows Govindan Kutty before and who served as a former servant to the blind couple, makes several attempts to make the old man learn the truth but all of them fail knowingly or unknowingly much to the luck of Sivaraman and Govindan Kutty. While successfully carrying on, they are interrupted by Radhika Menon (Arzoo Govitrikar) who disguises herself as the lover of Kunjunni. She calls on all the estranged relatives of the couple by mocking them. The relatives arrive in the absence of Sivaraman. Finding no- way-out, Govindan Kutty pretends to have fainted unconscious and gets admitted to the hospital. Sivaraman comes to his rescue and says that he is Dr. Gopalakrishnan, a friend of Kunjunni from the United States. Sivaraman and Govindan Kutty get angry at Radhika and they insult her in a comical argument. After many successful and comical escapades during their drama, Govindan Kutty tries to steal the Lord Krishna statue, for which he places a teapoy in the staircase to injure the blind old woman which keeps all others out of the house for sometime. Sivaraman engages in a fight with Govindan Kutty when he tries to leave with the statue he had stolen. The old man accuses his relatives for the accident and asks all his relatives to leave immediately after learning that they were greedy for his wealth. While he was reprimanding the relatives, the duo learn that the elderly couple had become blind in a car accident decades ago, in which their son and daughter-in-law (Kunjunni's parents) had died. Sivaraman and Govindan Kutty get desperate as the date for the visa payment was nearing. Radhika gives them the money for the visa and asks them to leave the house. Sivaraman and Govindan Kutty accept the money and leave the house. Upon leaving, they come to know that the visa agency was a fake one. Having lost all their resources, Govindan Kutty plans to start some new business with the money they have. Sivaraman disagrees to take the money and asks Govindan Kutty not to take the money which they have got for cheating on the innocent old couple. Govindankutty leaves Sivaraman in anger taking the money with him. Meanwhile, a sorrowful Pothuval informs Thampuran about Kunjunni's death. Later, Radhika also reveals to the old man that she is Kunjunni's actual lover and her real name is 'Revathy'. She also tells him that Kunjunni tragically died in America in a construction-site accident and she had come to inform this. But, after seeing the drama that was taking place which kept the old couple happy, cheerful, and hopeful, she also joined the duo. Sivaraman hears the truth and returns to the old man and confesses all his mistakes. The old man asks him to continue the drama in front of his wife Sethu, who loves her grandson above all and will die on the spot if she comes to know about the tragic truth. Sethu comes and calls Kunjunni, but she gets no replies but finally gets hold of Govindan Kutty's arms who has returned in remorse. The emotional old man hugs both Sivaraman and Govindan Kutty. And, while going back, Radhika promises to the old man that she will return again. Thampuran, Sivaraman, and Govindan Kutty have a funny moment together. In the closing scene it is shown that Thomas and Tyootty have started a new humbug. Nambeeshan has gone back to his native place and has started farming and his ex-wife (Sukumari) marries a younger man. Pothuval starts an anti-alcohol society, and the future plans of Alina remain unknown.

Durai Singam (Suriya) is an honest sub-inspector of Nallur, a small village in Thoothukudi district in southern Tamil Nadu, assisted by his bumbling colleague Yettu Erimalai (Vivek). He belongs to Nallur with his father Soundarapandi (Radha Ravi), having a respectable status in the village. His family business is provision stores and Singam wants to join it, but he joined police due to Soundarapandi's wishes. He resolves most of the problems in his village with nonviolence and mutual counselling. He uses force only when the situation demands it, thereby gaining much reputation and love from the villagers. Mahalingam (Nassar), an industrialist in Chennai and friend of Soundarapandi, comes to the village with his daughters Kavya (Anushka Shetty) and Divya (Krishna Priya). Singam initially thinks Kavya as a thief when she is about to prank her cousin by wearing a tiger costume. As Singam is roaming around the village, he accidentally slaps her. As Kavya is about to take revenge on Singam, he apologizes to her. Kavya got moved by this and slowly fell in love with him. After some hilarious incidents, Kavya proposes to Singam. Initially taken aback, Singam soon reciprocated Kavya's love. Chennai- based Mayil Vaaganam (Prakash Raj), a big-time extortionist with shady mafia dealings who blackmails people by complaining to the Income Tax Department, is required to travel to Nallur to sign a conditional bail. He instead, sends one of his allies to do the formalities, much to the anger and rage of Singam, who demands that Mayil sign the bail in person. Humiliated, Mayil reaches Nallur but is unable to take any revenge on Singam, fearing the immense love and devotion of the entire village towards Singam. Using his political contacts, he gets Singam transferred to Chennai to teach him a lesson. Singam, unaware of Mayil's hand behind his transfer, joins Thiruvanmiyur police station. His coworker Sub-Inspector Ravi (Bose Venkat) hates Mayil for his crimes but is unable to take any action because of Mayil's political powers. The ACP Rajendran (Nizhalgal Ravi), Singam's senior, is on Mayil's payroll and takes care in concealing and eliminating the evidence of Mayil's crimes from the eyes of the law. The Police Commissioner (Ajay Rathnam) also does not help Singam as there is no evidence against Mayil, and Rajendran warns Singam to stay away from Mayil's case. Unable to take on Mayil in his stronghold, Singam wants to return to his village but is stopped by Kavya, who encourages him to fight against evil and not run like a coward. Being mentally tortured by Mayil, Singam arrests Mayil's brother Vaikuntam (Adithya) in a fake case of illegally smuggling alcohol. He thwarts off Rajendran in full view of the public when Rajendran, bounded by his duties to Mayil, tries to protect the henchmen. Meanwhile, Mayil kidnaps Divya for ransom. Singam rescues her with unexpected help from Home Minister Ramanathan (Vijayakumar). Singam successfully traces the origins of the kidnapping racket to Mayil and also gets promoted to Assistant Commissioner of the specially-formed Anti- Kidnapping Task Force. Mahalingam, who was hostile to Singam following an altercation with Soundarapandi back at Nallur, softens up and agrees to give him Kavya's hand in marriage. The entire police force, including the Police Commissioner and Rajendran, are now on Singam's side. They decide to help him fight Mayil. They manage to kill Mayil's henchmen in an encounter at a hospital and begin to target everyone and everything related to Mayil. In retribution, Mayil starts targeting everyone close to Singam, including Kavya, whom he shoots but is saved by Singam, and Ravi, who is hacked to death by Mayil's henchmen. To escape the arrest warrant issued out to him, Mayil kidnaps Karnataka Home minister's daughter. He falsely tells Singam that he is going to Pondicherry with her, when actually he is going to Nellore in Andhra Pradesh to put the police off the track. However, Singam manages to pursue them till Gudur near Nellore, where he rescues her and kills Mayil in an encounter. After that, he resigns his job publicly in a felicitation function organised for him. During the credits, Singam is seen with Kavya heading back to Nallur. He is stopped briefly by Ramanathan, who offers an undercover mission, to which he willingly agrees.

The Doctor and his crew uncover a pocket universe inside a small tin can. 

=====

The Doctor and Peri arrive via TARDIS near a small medieval village and a nearby castle. They find a young man named Gurth being chased down by what appears to be Herne the Hunter and his dogs. To the Doctor's curiosity, the dogs appear to be robots. After evading Herne, Gurth explains that he was being hunted as his "time has come", and that he is no longer welcome in his village. He also tells them that he knows of no lands outside of area that he can escape to. They encounter a group called the Pariahs, similar outcasts like Gurth that have evaded Herne and hidden away in a nearby cave system. The Doctor continues to suspect something is amiss when he is captured by the Duke that rules from the castle, finding that he has no master outside of a disembodied voice that he answers to, and that the castle is unlike he has seen. The Doctor eventually escapes, reunites with Gurth and Peri, and explore more of the Pariahs' caves. They come to a metal hatch, and on the other side a small control room, through which they see the vast expanse of space. The Doctor confirms his theory: they are aboard the Leviathan, a giant generational colony ship used by humans, explaining why no one aboard knew of this. The Duke is answering to the ship's automated computer system that is trying to maintain the systems, but failing like much of the rest of the ship. The Doctor surmises that this was a ship belonging to the Sentinels of the New Dawn, a 22nd century force that used the Herne imagery. Outside of the ship, they see a much smaller ship staying in close proximity to the Leviathan but cannot contact it. When they leave the caves, they learn that all the adults of Gurth's village are rounding up the children to take to the castle. The Doctor and Peri help the children to escape before traveling to the castle themselves to help free the captured Pariah. The Doctor finds under the castle's foundation numerous cloning tanks, and determines that the Sentinals had planned to keep cloning themselves until they arrived at their destination. However, the damage to the computer systems caused them to forget this, and instituted the process whereby when a clone child got old enough to start to question their existence, they were then considered expendable and hunted down by the Herne, while a new clone replaced them. All the adults of the villages, the Duke, the Herne, and the castle guards are all robots doing the program's bidding. The recent change was an order issued from the other ship, who have access to the Leviathans computer systems. The Doctor is able to coerce the computer systems to stop its actions before anymore bloodshed befalls them. One of the crew of the smaller ship is able to transport onto the Leviathan, warning that his comrades are more interested in tearing down the Leviathan for scrap and are trying to kill the living humans to do so. The Doctor teleports back to the smaller ship and is able to stop them. With the Doctor's help, they arrange for Earth to send a rescue vehicle to evacuate the humans from the Leviathan.

The narrative of the audioplay is framed by the Doctor and Peri aboard the TARDIS, recounting the events of the last few days as the Doctor fears he has lost some of his memories. Two days prior, the Doctor and Peri arrive in the English countryside via TARDIS and take traditional forms of transportation to reach the village of Hollowdean, where the Doctor plans to meet with an old friend, Foxwell, a former researcher in artificial intelligence for a government laboratory, but now has retired as reverend of the local church. They arrive during a festival, and meet Professor Stream, his assistant Jane, and his chauffeur whom the Doctor nicknames Steel Specs. As they look for Foxwell, Peri encounters the young Simon, who claims to have seen a sand monster, while the Doctor's curiosity is piqued by a glowing object being sold in a white elephant sale. They eventually meet Foxwell, who reminds the Doctor that Stream had been his associate at the lab, and he is now dabbling in a human interface to a computer system as part of a project he is working with Stream, hoping to connect the minds of several people at once to see how they would perform as a computer. With Foxwell's equipment, the Doctor determines that the glowing object is a scale from a Tractator, an alien species that resemble the sand creature Simon saw and which have the ability to control gravity. The Doctor has Peri take Simon to investigate where Simon found the creature, while Jane offers him a ride to collect his TARDIS so that he can study the Tractator scale further. The Doctor finds Jane is under Steel Specs' control, and that her car is a primitive time machine. Jane manipulates the controls on the Doctor's TARDIS to allow Steel Specs to merge the two time machines and then jettison the Doctor in the car which he sends off to oblivion in deep space while he controls the TARDIS. The Doctor is able to access the time machine's controls to return it to Earth before it disintegrates, arriving back in Stream's mansion just in time. Meanwhile, Peri and Simon fall into a hole near the beach where they were exploring, finding the corpses of several more Tractators. Exploring further, they find the tunnels connected to Stream's mansion, which contains a prison holding more corpses of Tractators. They arrive in the mansion proper just as the Doctor escapes. They regroup with Foxwell, where the Doctor determines that Steel Specs is manipulating Foxwell to build a quantum gravity engine, a necessary component of a time machine, using Foxwell's neural interface connected to the Tractators to use their gravity-manipulating powers. Steel Specs had used the TARDIS to seize the Great Tractator as the final component of the machine. They race to stop the initiation of the engine, but arrive too late, and the Doctor, Peri, Simon, and Foxwell are trapped in a collapsing bubble of space. They discover Steel Specs is just an android under the full control of Stream, who then kills Jane to prove she was human and will willingly do the same to them. Stream leaves them to die while he prepares to complete the engine test. The Doctor convinces the Great Tractator to help them, given that they are prisoners as well. The Tractators use their powers to open a time corridor, through which the Doctor and his allies are able to skip through events of the last few days. There they come across evidence that Stream has no credentials and never worked alongside Foxwell, and he has managed to seemingly insert his faked background to everyone's mind, including that of the Doctor. With the use of the time corridor they are able to sabotage the engine test, forcing Stream to leave the TARDIS to check on it. This gives the Tractators time to use their gravity powers on Stream, killing him and putting an end to the test. Back on the TARDIS, the Doctor continues to worry how Stream had been able to invade his memories and still fears his true memories may have been damaged.

The Doctor takes Peri to the Targus system in the 35th century to meet an old friend of his. However they find that his friend left for the nearby Paradise 5 resort – a space station in orbit around a volcanic planet within the system – three weeks prior and then did not return after his planned stay was up. The Doctor learns more about the station, which features its "Paradise Machine" as its prized highlight, and finds several more guests and staff have travelled to the resort but never returned. As the resort is invite-only, he falsifies computer records to sneak Peri aboard as a new hostess whilst he sneaks aboard the transport cargo bound for the station. At Paradise 5 Peri is introduced to Gabriel, the resort's lead host; Michael, who monitors the station; and the current staff which includes Lorelei, Stella, and Bella. She is also introduced to the Cherubs, who Gabriel claims are an alien species of limited intelligence that resemble angelic cherubs. While she does her duties, she is surprised to learn that guests seemingly up and leave without notice, with none of the other hostesses really cognizant of this rapid disappearance; Gabriel states that this frequently happens after getting a call from Targus, and they return via a separate shuttle. The Doctor, meanwhile, has sneak aboard the station, and hides in the "backstage" portion of the station, reserved for the staff only. He discovers Mr. Winterbourne, a former guest but that has appeared to lost all memories of the resort and has gone partially insane. He also meets the Cherubs, including one that can write and warns him about the "Elohim". After learning from Peri of her situation, the Doctor decides that he cannot gain more information from the backstage and sneaks into the main resort when the next guest shuttle arrives. He is able to help confide in Stella and Bella that there are irregularities at the resort, and with Peri, they show him the departure shuttle area. The Doctor cannot open the hatch, but recognise the ship behind it as alien in design. The Doctor's actions lead Michael to review the Doctor and Peri's arrival and finds the false records. Believing they have been found out by local authorities, the two make plans to "process" the remaining passengers while setting the station to fall out of orbit into the planet below. The Doctor eventually is able to open the hatch to the departing shuttle, and determines the ship belongs to a race of multi-dimensional beings that call themselves the Elohim. The hold of the ship is filled with many of the guests of Paradise 5, shackled to prevent escape. When the Doctor learns that the one friendly Cherub is really his old friend, he deduces what has been going on. The Elohim have been paying Gabriel and Michael to bring prospective humans to the resort, and use the Paradise Machine to elevate their upper minds away from their senses. This allows the Elohim to determine which of those can fight their war with another multi- dimensional race for them; those that pass this test have been taken away as slaves, while those that fail transformed into Cherubs, or end up like Mr. Winterbourne. The Doctor instructs Peri, Stella, and Bella to free the guests and take them all to the arrival shuttle to escape, while he and Mr. Winterbourne use the Paradise Machine to alert the Elohim's opponents about the station. The two eventually reunite with Peri and the others and escape. Meanwhile, Gabriel and Michael attempt to get their final payment from the Elohim, but when the aliens find their slaves taken, they leave the station without paying the two. Gabriel and Michael find the arrival shuttle has also since gone, and they ride out the station's destruction.

Sometime after the events of the second game of the original trilogy — Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box — archaeologist and puzzle master Professor Hershel Layton and his young apprentice Luke Triton reminisce over one of their earliest adventures together from three years ago (this taking place after Professor Layton and the Last Specter, the first game chronologically): Layton is invited by his former student Janice Quatlane to watch her perform in an opera at the Crown Petone opera house, which is built on the White Cliffs of Dover. The performance centers on the legendary lost Kingdom of Ambrosia and the secret of eternal life it holds, which will be rediscovered when its queen returns. Janice believes recent strange occurrences are somehow connected to the opera: girls have disappeared from London, and the opera's composer, Oswald Whistler, has recently adopted a young girl who has claimed to be his deceased daughter Melina. Whistler plays the entire opera on the Detragon, an elaborate one-man orchestra machine. Once the performance is complete, a mystery man informs the audience that they are to play a game, the winner of which will receive the secret of eternal life, while the losers will die. Several members of the audience try to escape, but the floor opens up beneath them and they disappear. Inspector Grosky tries to arrest the mystery man, but the man is a puppet which inflates and floats out of the theater, taking Grosky with him. The Crown Petone is revealed to be a ship, which breaks off from the cliffs and sets sail. The mystery man unveils a series of timed puzzles intended to progressively eliminate the players until one winner remains. Layton's prolific puzzle-solving prowess allows him, Luke, Janice, and a group of nine others to quickly deduce the answers. The remaining contestants leave the ship in lifeboats, which take the players to their next destination as the ship explodes behind them. The next morning, the group finds themselves on an island. After discovering a sculpted stone seal, amateur historian Marco Brock reasons they must be at Ambrosia. Evading a pack of wolves as they make their way towards the castle at the centre of the island, Layton, Luke and Janice become separated from the rest of the group and assemble a makeshift helicopter that allows them to fly to the castle quickly. There, they solve the fourth and final puzzle that directs them to the final room of the contest, but Layton leaves Luke, Janice and two other contestants (Brock and child prodigy Amelia Ruth) to enter it while he explores the rest of the castle. Back in London, Emmy Altava, Professor Layton's assistant, is meeting with Dr. Andrew Schrader when she hears about the events on the Crown Petone. She flies out to the remains of the ship, where she picks up Inspector Grosky and flies to the island. Layton finds a room filled with Melina Whistler's belongings, along with a piece of sheet music titled “A Song of the Sea”. He meets Melina herself and witnesses her having an argument with herself. Luke, Janice, Brock and Amelia enter the final room of the contest, only to be trapped behind bars. The mystery man reveals himself as Jean Descole, Layton and Luke's old nemesis, who orders Amelia to be brought to him. Luke, Janice and Brock are taken by Descole's men, but they are saved by Emmy and Grosky. Layton and Melina meet up with them, and Emmy recognizes “Melina” as Nina, one of the girls who went missing. Amelia is brought to Oswald Whistler, believed to have been eliminated by a previous puzzle, and declares her the winner of the contest, but soon forces her into a machine connected to the Detragon and confesses that there is no Elixir of Life. Layton and company manage to save her, and Layton explains the truth: the Detragon is actually a machine that can copy a person's personality and download their memories into another person's brain. Whistler had conspired with Descole to abduct girls from London and use the Detragon to implant them with his dead daughter's memories as a means of keeping her alive indefinitely. This is the fate that befell Nina, and it is the fate that Whistler had planned for Amelia. Layton reveals that Janice also was a victim of Whistler's experiments, and that, unbeknownst to Whistler, he had actually succeeded in transferring Melina's memories into Janice's body. It was Melina who sought Layton's help in stopping her father from hurting anyone else. With Melina's cover blown, Descole captures her and reveals his true plan: to use the Detragon in concert with Melina's singing to raise Ambrosia by playing a pair of melodies found in the island's stone seal - the Song of the Stars and the Song of the Sea. After Descole's attempts fail, he flies into a rage: the Detragon destroys the castle and becomes the controls of a gigantic excavation robot, the Detragiganto, which Descole commands and begins rampaging across the island in a desperate attempt to uncover Ambrosia by force. Layton and company escape the castle, and Layton and Luke fly in their makeshift helicopter to save Melina. During the chaos, Melina tries to stop Descole, but he knocks her over the side of the robot, where she holds on for her life. Luke rescues Melina while Layton duels with Descole on top of the Detragiganto, and reveals that Descole had overlooked a third melody hidden in the seal, the Song of the Sun. Again, Melina sings as Layton takes the Detragon's controls, and this time, the ruins of Ambrosia do indeed rise, infuriating Descole even further. He lunges at Layton, believing that the ruins belong only to him, but merely damages the control panel instead, throwing the Detragiganto out of control and causing it to heavily damage itself. Descole falls off the machine and disappears while Layton, Luke and Melina escape. In the aftermath of the rise of Ambrosia, Melina decides she cannot take over Janice's life, and, after bidding farewell to her father, Luke and Layton, her spirit leaves Janice's body. Whistler plays one last song on the remains of the Detragon, and Janice, now in control of her body again, sings for Melina's memory. As the sun rises over the island, Layton concludes that the true "eternal life" of the people of Ambrosia comes from people in the modern age still speaking tales of them and their beloved Queen. Luke wonders if Melina could have been a reincarnation of the queen of Ambrosia, and Layton reminds him of the legend: that Ambrosia would rise again when its beloved queen returned.

When learning that the Dancers have called in an outlaw gang led by the notorious Flake Manson and his brothers, Whitmore acts quickly and rides with a large body of men against the Dancer ranch. They are ambushed by Tully Dancer’s men at a pass and the groups entrench against each other. Wes, who worries for Nancy, negotiates a truce: Whitmore will refrain from pushing through and the Dancers will send off the Manson gang. Tully and his father decide to secretly offer Flake Manson more money to get him to act, even if this endangers the life of Tully’s brother Clay, who is sent to Whitmore as a hostage for the truce. Wes and Cooley arrest the other Manson brothers that are in town, one of them when he tries to rape Nancy. However, Tully finds Flake and they besiege the prison and leave men to hold Wes pinned while they attack Whitmore’s force. Wes and Cooley (with the help of Nancy) manage to trick the men into revealing themselves and kill them, but Cooley dies too. Wes convinces the townspeople to take sides and ride to the pass. Tully and Flake, who had Whitmore between two fires, now suffer the same fate. Wes kills Flake and Tully escapes with Wes in hot pursuit.

Wes arrives with the corpse of Tully just in time to stop Whitmore from hanging Clay. Wes will stay on as sheriff, with Nancy by his side.
